Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes walked off the field dangling his right arm, which had been bent grotesquely on a strip-sack by the Jets’ David Bailey, and for the briefest of moments a pall seemed to descend over Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.
Mahomes flexed his ailing elbow on the sideline. Threw a couple of warmup passes. Then headed back into the game.
The two-time MVP proceeded to throw for 242 yards with pair of touchdown passes to Kenneth Walker, who alleviated some of the pressure on Mahomes by adding 102 yards rushing and a score on the ground, while Kansas City’s defense dominated the second half to finish off a 35-12 rout of the Jets that served to get the Chiefs back on track.
