Patrick Mahomes Called 'Greatness' by Chiefs Fans After Beating Jags Despite Injury

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes briefly left his team's AFC Divisional Round game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with an ankle injury, but he returned to the game and threw a crucial touchdown pass late to help lead his team to a 27-20 victory.

Mahomes completed 22 of 30 passes for 195 yards and two scores. Those are pedestrian numbers by the superstar's standards, but that stat line proved quite impressive, considering that he missed the entire second quarter with the ailment and played hurt all of the second half.

Mahomes suffered the injury late in the first quarter after a hit from pass-rusher Arden Key.
