Andy Reid acknowledged that Patrick Mahomes asked him to keep playing this season with the Kansas City Chiefs despite his knee injury. The head coach had to stop the star quarterback and make him understand that the issue was very serious.
“He’s so positive right now. He attacked this thing the day after. You wouldn’t expect anything less. Get me up and get me going. He was basically saying that an hour after the game. Brace me up and let me go. It’s not one of those injuries obviously, but, that’s his mindset. I think he’ll do great with a rehab. He’s pretty fast healer that way and his attitude, that’s about 90%of the thing. How you go about it. How willing are you to push through the pain of getting it right.”
Gardner Minshew took over in the final minutes of the game against the Chargers, and when the backup quarterback threw an interception, the Chiefs’ hopes to reach the Super Bowl were dashed. Now, it’s time to focus on the 2026 season.
