Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was seen limping off the field after taking a high-low hit in the fourth quarter of their game against the Cleveland Browns.
Mahomes was trying to execute a pass on fourth down when he was hit at the ankles by Browns defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson – before getting hit near the helmet by Browns DT Mike Hall Jr.
The Chiefs quarterback needed some help from teammates and training staff to get off the field.
Cameras later caught Mahomes getting his ankles taped on the sidelines. When the Chiefs got the ball back, backup quarterback Carson Wentz entered the game.
Kansas City later listed Mahomes as questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury.
It’s not like the Chiefs particularly needed Mahomes in that moment – up 21-7 late in the fourth quarter.

Sunday was a mediocre day for Mahomes in terms of pure statistics – completing 19-of-38 passes for only 159 yards, but two touchdowns.
Mahomes connected with targets Noah Gray and JuJu Smith-Schuster on the touchdowns.
Thankfully for the Chiefs and their fans, the lowly Browns struggled mightily on offense as quarterback Jameis Winston turned the ball over three times with interceptions.
Kansas City had already clinched the AFC West title with their walkoff victory last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
