Patrick Mahomes Breaks Silence on Major Knee Injury in Telling Post

The Kansas City Chiefs’ 2025 season came to a devastating halt on December 14, following the shocking news that quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a serious knee injury during the team’s elimination loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Shortly after the game, Mahomes addressed his injury in a heartfelt post on X, writing:
“Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it hurts. 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 ⏰.”

This message immediately alarmed fans and followers, who feared the worst after reading the quarterback’s somber words. Unfortunately, those fears were soon confirmed.

### Patrick Mahomes Suffers Torn ACL

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport and ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter were among the first to report that Mahomes had suffered a torn ACL. This injury officially ends what has been a nightmare season for the star quarterback.

Since becoming the Chiefs’ starter, Mahomes has not missed an AFC Championship game—or even the postseason in general—making this setback all the more significant.

### What’s Next for Mahomes and the Chiefs?

Looking ahead to the 2026 season, the primary concern is whether Mahomes will recover in time for Week 1. Recovery from a torn ACL typically takes anywhere from nine months to over a year. Mahomes is expected to undergo surgery sometime in December, meaning he will likely miss OTAs and training camp.

If his rehabilitation takes longer than expected, he could also miss part of the early 2026 schedule, leaving the Chiefs to adjust without their leader on the field.

### Mahomes’ Commitment to Recovery

Throughout his career, Mahomes has been known for rarely missing time due to injury and for his rigorous training regimen focused on flexibility and pliability to prevent injury.

There is no doubt the quarterback will dedicate himself fully to his recovery. However, as he mentioned in his post, some things are ultimately in the hands of a higher power.

The Chiefs Kingdom will undoubtedly be rooting for their superstar to come back stronger than ever.

Josh Allen Sends Strong Message to Patrick Mahomes Before Bills-Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills have officially entered Chiefs Week, their now-annual regular-season meeting with Patrick Mahomes and their rivals from the AFC West. The stakes are always high when the Kansas City Chiefs arrive on Buffalo’s schedule, but this year could be even more important as both teams have fallen out of the lead in their respective divisions.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen is ready for the challenge, offering some big praise of his quarterback counterpart this week and receiving some love from Mahomes in return.

### Josh Allen Needs to Raise His Game

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Allen shared praise for Mahomes and said the two-time MVP forces him to up his game. Allen has had plenty of success against Mahomes in the regular season, leading the Bills to wins in each of the last four years. However, the Bills are 0-4 against the Chiefs in the playoffs, including a loss in last year’s AFC Championship.

The Bills come into this year’s game against the Chiefs with a 5-2 record, having recovered from back-to-back losses by blowing out the Carolina Panthers last week. Meanwhile, the Chiefs started the season 0-2 but have since steadied the ship, getting top receiver Rashee Rice back from a six-game suspension and winning five of their last six games.

The importance of this week’s contest is underscored by the fact that the loser could fall out of the playoffs entirely if the Jacksonville Jaguars win their game.

### Patrick Mahomes Returns the Favor

Mahomes also had plenty of good things to say about Allen, telling reporters that the reigning MVP is a nightmare for his team to defend. Mahomes added that he believes Allen is only improving and said the Bills quarterback forces him to be better.

While their rivalry on the field has only grown more heated, Mahomes and Allen have maintained friendly terms off the gridiron. The two recently teamed up for a televised golf match where they faced—and ultimately lost to—fellow star quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.

With both quarterbacks pushing each other to new heights, this year’s Bills vs. Chiefs game promises to be a thrilling showdown.
