It seems like the Kansas City Chiefs face some new adversity every week, and Week 9’s Monday night showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was no exception.
In a thrilling 30-24 overtime win, the Chiefs pushed their undefeated winning streak to eight games, overcoming a fourth-quarter injury scare to Patrick Mahomes that nearly derailed their efforts.
The tense moment unfolded just after Mahomes threw a game-tying touchdown to running back Samaje Perine early in the fourth quarter. During the play, Mahomes seemed to have landed awkwardly on his ankle —a non-contact injury that caused immediate concern on the Chiefs’ sideline.
