The Chiefs team is built around their QB, like most stable teams in the NFL. And with the Super Bowl just one more step away, losing Mahomes to an injury at this point would have been devastating. But the QB revealed that he got no real treatment for his injury.
No time for treatment
Patrick Mahomes did go to the locker room injured in the first quarter but did not get any real treatment for his ankle. And according to Mahomes, there wasn’t any time to do that with the game in full swing.
“I mean no real treatment. You don’t have time to get treatment and stuff like that. But I mean, you just put a spat on, get it tight, try to keep the swelling down and then go out there and play,” Mahomes said in the press conference.

“They made me do a couple of things in the locker room to show that I could move and protect myself if pressure came. Credit to the team, the offensive line did a great job in the second half protecting me in the second half,” Mahomes said.
