Patrick Mahomes didn’t have a peaceful night on Saturday getting the win for Kansas after suffering a high ankle sprain in the game. The Chiefs beat Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 to advance to their fifth straight AFC Championship appearance. However, for Patrick’s mother, the game was a rollercoaster of emotions.

Mothers worry. More so if her quarterback son is always facing bigger and stronger men rushing and blitzing him. And her worst fears almost came true on Saturday night when Patrick Mahomes limped his way out of the field into the locker room after the end of the first quarter. However, fans know how things ultimately ended.

Patrick Mahomes and his mom gave anxious fans some peace of mind

Randi Mahomes barely misses any of Patrick’s home games at Arrowhead. And this week’s visuals were understandably hard for her to digest. Late in the first quarter, Mahomes fell down to a Jags’ rush tackle. Jacksonville linebacker Arden Key landed on Mahomes’ ankle, twisting his knees and bringing the NFL passing yards and TD leader down. Mahomes limped and somehow finished the first quarter before being rushed off for x-rays against his wishes.

The frame of the adorable mother-son picture had a third guest that caught the NFL world’s attention. Set on the top shelf in the background was Mahomes’ 2020 Lombardi Trophy and his Super Bowl MVP prize. And fans want that second one with only two teams standing in Patrick’s way.

Patrick Mahomes will be ready for the game next week, according to Adam Schefter’s report. Mahomes’ next opponent is probably the hardest he has ever faced. Joe Burrow is the only QB Patrick Mahomes has not beaten in his time in the NFL yet. And the Chiefs signal-caller has a chance to change that next Sunday in the AFC Conference Championship game. Joe Cool and the Bengals have a 3-0 record against Mahomes and Co, including the win in last year’s AFC title game.
