How Patrick Mahomes took 13 hits during the win over the Chargers

In Week 14, the Kansas City Chiefs recorded a 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers during ‘Sunday Night Football’ on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. While the Chiefs ultimately drove down the field to kick a game-winning field goal, it was anything but easy. The Chargers’ talented pass rush sacked quarterback Patrick Mahomes three times, hitting him a total of 13 times.

Kansas City’s offensive tackles had struggled during previous games, so fans were excited to see new left tackle D.J. Humphries start Sunday’s contest. Still, there were times it didn’t look much different; there were instances where Mahomes didn’t seem to be on the same page with his pass protectors or his receivers — and that led to him taking more hits.
