Chiefs Eliminated from Playoff Qualifications
In Week 15 of the NFL regular season, the Chiefs faced a do-or-die game; a loss would eliminate them from playoff contention. The Chiefs started strong, with Mahomes, wearing number 15 NFL jerseys, rushing for 12 yards to give his team an early lead in this crucial game.
The Chargers, on the other hand, relied on their running game to advance the ball past half-field. Allen caught the ball and advanced 8 yards to get the team into shooting range, where kicker Dickel converted a 49-yard field goal for 3 points. After several attempts, the Chargers trailed 10-13 at halftime.
In the second half, the Chargers started the second half. Mahomes, wearing a Kansas City Chiefs football jersey, was hit by an opponent after a pass and injured his knee. A post-game MRI revealed the injury was serious, ending his season. A backup quarterback entered the game. Ultimately, the Chargers closed out the game, officially sealing the Chiefs' playoff hopes.
