“The only concern is with the toe, which has bothered him or did bother him the other day and is something that they’re keeping an eye on. I mean, he’s gonna play, there’s no question about that, he doesn’t have any injury status.

The Chiefs’ faithful will not read too much into this analysis from Mike. This is not the first time that the odds are against Mahomes and certainly won’t be the last.
