Chiefs beat Jaguars to make AFC title game, but Patrick Mahomes' ankle is a big concern

The Kansas City Chiefs won a divisional round playoff game. They are going back to the AFC championship game. There won't be a lot of celebration.

Part of the reason is the Chiefs are used to advancing to the NFL's final four. It's their fifth straight trip to the AFC championship game. But mostly it's because all anyone in Kansas City will be talking about for eight days is Patrick Mahomes' ankle.

Mahomes suffered what was reported to be a high ankle sprain in Saturday's 27-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, an injury that often takes weeks to heal.
