Home/NFL

Whether you like it or not, the truth is that the Chiefs are ruling this season. Like, who else is winning like them? Okay, maybe the Detroit Lions. So, it will be the Chiefs from the AFC and the Lions from the NFC. Every time people think it’s too early to say this, either of them wins a game and proves the people wrong. It’s Week 15 of the NFL, and the Chiefs have added another win to their column. The Patrick Mahomes squad beat the Browns 21-7. Honestly, Chiefs games are becoming too predictable now. They come, they play, they win, they go.

But now the troubles are coming their way, as their main man Patrick Mahomes suffers an injury, thanks to the offensive lineup’s mess. The team was already having plenty of trouble with their offense, and now it has let the QB down once again. This time, when we say ‘let down,’ we mean it literally, as Mahomes gets squeezed between two Browns defenders while his offense becomes a mere spectator. Mahomes, who did not return to the field after that, was replaced by Carson Wentz. While the Chiefs face this serious concern, netizens on X are calling out the Chiefs QB, as they believe he faked the injury. “Oh here we go, another Mahomes “injury” where he’ll be back in 3 plays?” writes a user on X.

At this point, you can imagine how terrible it would be if an injury sidelined Patrick Mahomes. Several videos of the QB have been circulating on social media. The 29-year-old walked without any tape on his ankle. Mahomes walked out of the locker room on his own. But just a few minutes later, they took him around in a cart.

Coach Andy Reid, in the post-game conference giving an update on the QB, said, “His right ankle has been hurt.” Earlier this season, Mahomes hurt his left ankle. Although it wasn’t that serious he kept playing for the team. This time, we don’t know. “It’s not broken but it’s sore. He’ll get started on the rehab part of it as we go, and we’ll just have to see how he does”, added Andy Reid.

Mahomes was in a similar position last year too. But then he came out fine and went on to win the Super Bowl. That might be the reason netizens are acting out, calling it his yearly ‘gimmick.’

Fans mock Patrick Mahomes for faking an injury.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Mahomes really hurt, or is he just playing it up for the cameras?

Have an interesting take?

Looks like the new NFL drama is unfolding. There is no official word on Patrick’s injury as of now. The QB limped off the field in the fourth quarter of the game. While this could be a serious injury to Mahomes, non-Chiefs fans on the internet are leaving no chance to troll the QB.

“Acting it up ’cause he didn’t get the call. Like when you’re fighting your lil brother, he’s fine”, writes another user on X. “What a diva. Scrolls his phone while everyone else works hard around him”, comments a user on the video, where Mahomes can be seen taken around in a cart.

“Of course cause, there are cameras out there so we gotta ham it up and get him on the cart to make it look more heroic when he plays next week”, writes another user. Well, we can’t say anything about the injury as of now. But this has seriously flooded social media with opinions, jokes, and memes. That’s how the world of the internet is, it can be pretty brutal at times. While some are trolling the Chiefs QB, Chiefs fans are flooding social media with their well wishes. “Need my QB to heal up fast (praying emojis) Mahomes would miss 1 game max”, writes another user.
