GLENDALE, Ariz. — Patrick Mahomes barely made it off the field after he was tackled in the second quarter.
It was a reminder Mahomes was playing Super Bowl LVII with a high ankle sprain. He was tackled on a third down and stayed down for a while. He limped off, slowly. Trainers looked at him on the sideline while he writhed in pain.
Shortly after that, when the Eagles kicked a field goal to end the first half, it looked like another loss for Mahomes in a Super Bowl was coming. The Eagles led 24-14 at halftime and had thoroughly outplayed the Chiefs.
