Patrick Mahomes is reportedly facing a family health issue, as his grandfather is dealing with a serious condition, according to TMZ Sports. Despite this, Mahomes continues to show resilience on the field, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to secure the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17.
In that game, Mahomes had his best performance of the season, completing 29 of 38 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns without any interceptions or sacks. He’s been battling a high ankle sprain since Week 15 but has continued to play through the injury, helping the Chiefs maintain their winning streak.
With the top AFC seed clinched, the Chiefs’ final regular-season game against the Denver Broncos may not require Mahomes to play. Kansas City, with a 15-1 record, remains the favorite to win an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl championship.
