The Chiefs so far had an impressive season. The team has been unstoppable, and the most credit right now goes to the big players, particularly quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
So far, the quarterback has made some excellent plays. Among all the stress of coming in top form, the QB was recently held liable for an injury that occurred on the team.
If you have seen the Chiefs against the Chargers, you will understand what we are talking about. If you don’t know, Rashee Rice slammed into Patrick Mahomes while tackling Chargers CB Kristian Fulton. Rice was smacked quite hard as Mahomes charged with full force.
The running back sustained an ACL rupture and may miss the rest of the season. Mahomes recently was asked about the topic where he mentioned, “When I saw the replay, I felt like s— that I hit Rashee (Rice).”
These statements from the quarterback reveal how much he blames himself for the accident. Other experts and fans, on the other hand, believe it was a completely unintentional collision. Another reason Mahomes blames himself for the accident is that he was going in with full power. Given the circumstances at hand, the quarterback should not lose concentration on the season due to this injury. As if you didn’t know, the Chiefs will face a difficult game in week five. Let’s take a look at the Chiefs’ upcoming game.
Patrick Mahomes and company will be gearing up for the Saints.
It is widely known that the Saints experienced a roller coaster season this year. They were very dominant in the first two games. Later, injuries caught up with the team, and they lost their next two games consecutively. Right now, the team is hoping to make a comeback, therefore they will give it their best. Chiefs are the greatest team to come back against, and the Saints will be aiming to implement new strategies in this game as well.
In the past, these two teams have met a total of 12 times. The Chiefs are now dominating the series with seven wins, but the Saints are not far behind. The fascinating element about this rivalry is that the Saints have not beaten the Chiefs since 2008. Patrick Mahomes will be hoping to retain this domination and lead his squad to victory again. For this, the QB must concentrate and forget about Rice’s injuries.
