Injuries for Chiefs

As you can remember, during Week 1, Mahomes got banged up and had his left ankle twisted. In this game, his ankle got tweaked again. One of his own teammates accidentally stepped on it during the game, which didn’t help. When Mahomes came out after halftime, his left ankle was taped up, but he was no longer limping. The Chiefs also lost defensive end Chis Jones, linebacker Anthony Hitchens, defensive lineman Xavier Williams, and wide receiver Sammy Watkins during the game due to injuries.
Patrick Mahomes Yards
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 22 of 39, threw for 321 yards, threw for one touchdown, and had three carries for 17 yards. The player that caught the touchdown from Mahomes was Byron Pringle. On that throw Mahomes left the pocket and threw side-armed, with no feet on the ground, to the end zone where Pringle was. Byron Pringle dived and caught it for the first and only touchdown of the game.
The Chiefs will go up against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on October 13, 2019; the game will start at noon Central Time.
