Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes talks about hurting his hand and playing sick against the Broncos.
In Week 8, the Broncos defeated the Chiefs 24-9, ending Denver’s 16-game losing streak 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 report. 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 illness.
Yes, I did just feel awful last night. However, I recovered fairly 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 cover his cut hand in order to play the entire game.
Yes, I’m not exactly 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.

Their unlucky charm might be a devoted Kansas City Chiefs fan. He has been asked to stay at home.
Wait to do laundry until the Chiefs have secured the victory.If you think it would benefit the team more, lock yourself in the restroom for the duration of the match.
Furthermore, avoid allowing Charles Penn entry into Arrowhead Stadium at all costs.
Superstitious fans, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, have unofficially banned poor Penn, also known to Chiefs fans as “Bad Luck Chuck,” from all Chiefs games going forward because they believe his presence will portend a defeat.
As Penn tweeted a video of himself leaving the stadium after the first quarter of a January 12 playoff game while wearing Chiefs gear, it quickly gained traction beyond just his pals’ jokes. By then, his Chiefs were trailing the Houston Texans 21-0.
Penn remarked in the video, “It might be true, man,” as if his absence had something to do with the team’s subpar play. “I have to go; we have to find a way to return.”
Penn, 31, is a lifelong fan of the Chiefs and a native of Kansas City. And yet, the Chiefs have suffered heartbreaking losses in each playoff game he has seen.
When he and a few friends got together to watch the Chiefs play the Indianapolis Colts in a wild card game in 2013, that’s when his losing streak began. Penn was barred from going to any more viewing parties with the same group after the Colts defeated the Chiefs.
