PATRICK Mahomes broke his silence over his brutal leg injury as the worst news has been confirmed for the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback.

Mahomes injured his left leg late in the Chiefs’ 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.  Mahomes suffered the knee injury after he was tackled from behind by Chargers defensive end Da’Shawn Hand.

The three-time Super Bowl champion was seen reaching for his left knee, and he stayed down on the sideline as he got treatment from Kansas City’s medical staff.

Mahomes was taken to the blue medical tent for more treatment before needing assistance to the locker room.  He didn’t return as the Chiefs went on to lose, and the 6-8 team was eliminated from the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

After the game, the Chiefs announced that Mahomes underwent an MRI, which confirmed that he has torn his ACL in his left knee.

Mahomes opened up about his feelings regarding the horrific news on X.  “Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it’s hurts,” he wrote.  “But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again.

“Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers.  “I Will be back stronger than ever.”

Mahomes was replaced by veteran backup Gardner Minshew, who threw an interception to Derwin James with just 14 seconds left in the contest.

The turnover sealed a 16-13 loss.  Kansas City has been eliminated from the playoffs for the first time since 2014.  The team will now have to worry about whether Mahomes can be available for the start of next season.
