Patrick Mahomes is terribly sick.
In Week 8, the Broncos defeated the Chiefs 24-9, ending Denver’s 16-game losing run to their division rivals. Patrick Mahomes lost on the road for the first time in his AFC West career in this game.
After it was revealed that he had the flu, Mahomes began the day unexpectedly on the Chiefs’ injury list. He had a difficult game and made three mistakes, including his first-ever fumble of the year. Mahomes gave a press conference after the game and disclosed specifics about his ailment.
Yes, I did simply feel awful last night. However, I recovered rather well this morning,” Mahomes remarked. “I’m just trying to play the best football I can out there, so to speak.”
When asked how bad the illness was, Mahomes answered right away. Yes, it’s just stomach issues. You are aware. It is what it is, really.
Mahomes hurt his left hand during the game on Sunday in the second half. He had to wear a glove to hide his cut hand in order to play the entire game.
Yes, I’m not precisely sure. Based on the appearance, it appears that it was trodden upon,” stated Mahomes. “I didn’t realize it until after the fourth-down play, when I was making my way to the sidelines.”
In order to recuperate and assist in getting the offense back on track against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, the reigning league MVP will make a lengthy trip to Germany for the game on Sunday.
