Just before things were getting heated, heartbreaking news came in from the Kansas City Chiefs’ side of the NFL. This might just break the fans’ hearts as the Chiefs are all geared up to play in a snowy Denver Emperor Field in a few hours. The Chiefs might have to rely on their QB2 for this game as Patrick Mahomes is battling with some complications. The news just came in and the logistics of the situation are not clear yet, but the Denver Broncos might have been provided with a great opportunity to claim a win.

The linebacker Nick Bolton was already out for the team. Now, the clouds of uncertainty have surrounded the star QB Mahomes who has played a key role in the team’s success this year. Alas! The latest news hints toward an illness surrounding the footballer which doesn’t spell positive for the men in red.

Patrick Mahomes and his untimely cold

The Chiefs’ official account on X shared just posted an update a few hours ago and it is not looking good for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Apparently, Mahomes might not play against the Denver Broncos due to the flu that has taken over him. Though he is ill, no confirmation regarding his absence has come forth. His status still appears to be active on ESPN, but the Chiefs have hinted toward the opposite.

Blaine Gabbert, another QB for the Chiefs, might just get a chance to start the game against the Denver team. Meanwhile, according to some other sources the 28-year-old Mahomes has been feeling down since Saturday and has been getting IVs for the last two days. Despite these updates, Dianna Russini appeared pretty confident and reported that Mahomes will get better in time to play against the Broncos.

This raise a very important question. Will Patrick Mahomes be at the top of his game if he takes on the field this weekend against Broncos? Also, whether or not Mahomes participates, football enthusiasts are curious to find out if men in red will be able to extend their winning streak or will Russell Wilson be at an advantage today.

The Broncos at a higher terrain

Literally, the Broncos are on a higher terrain, and to add to that, it is snowing in Denver and the Emperor Field is covered in snow. The maintenance is hard at work, removing the snow and making the field more playable. While the Denver Broncos know how the games in the snow go, what about the Chiefs? Are they at a disadvantage here?

That might be the case, especially for Mahomes, who is already ill and a few hours in cold climate might make a lot of difference to his health. However, the Chiefs are known for their resilient gameplay and that is exactly what the fans might be expecting—both from the team and the QB.

Although, the question pops up, will Russell Wilson be able to take advantage of the situation? Earlier, it was predicted that this was going to be an uphill battle for the Broncos, but now, the tables might have turned. The Broncos have a real chance of making it out with a win against an uncertainty laden Chiefs.

Will the snow and Mahomes illness give an advantage to the Broncos? Let us know your analysis of the situation.
