Kansas City Chiefs Dynasty Kaput: Mahomes ACL Torn & Season Over

Today the worst happened for Kansas City football fans and we're likely looking at the conclusion of Super Bowl caliber play from the Chiefs anytime soon. 

As always, we remind readers that the NFL really means . . . "NOT FOR LONG" when it comes to player longevity but this injury seemed exceptionally cruel.  

Of course we wish Patrick Mahomes a speedy & full recovery, but the reality is that most NFL players are NEVER the same after suffering a torn ACL . . . It's a career ending injury.  

And here's the aftermath and more reporting . . . 

Mahomes was trying to cobble together a comeback win or at least a chance to tie the game down three points. He was rolling to his right when he was hit by a defender. It appeared Mahomes hyperextended his knee as he went down to the ground.

He stayed down for several moments before he was helped up. He was limping on the sideline as Gardner Minshew II came into the game for him.

Mahomes finished the game 16-of-28 with 189 passing yards and an interception. He scored a rushing touchdown in the first quarter.

Minshew threw an interception on the final drive, and the Chargers celebrated a 16-13 win.
