Kansas City Chiefs suffered a horrific blow as Charles Omenihu got injured during the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. The Chiefs took an overwhelming first-half lead 17-10 at the Baltimore home ground. Credit goes to Omenihu, who took the ball away from Lamar Jackson in the second quarter, giving the Chiefs a chance to secure a game-changing turnover.

Still, all didn’t end well for the DE, who injured his knee in the second quarter of the game. In a must-win knockout game, the Chiefs need their dependable defensive end more than ever and this injury gives a scare to the team.
