To make matters worse, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was injured in the final moments of the game, and video footage from after the incident is drawing a strong reaction.<\/p>\n<p>During the final minutes of the game, Mahomes bent his knee in what a painful way, and he was spotted on the ground in pain. After the injury, he had to be helped off the field. This isn\u2019t the first time Mahomes has occurred a knee injury, either. He has been dealing with his knee in the past few weeks, so it made it worse to take a hit from the Chargers, especially in a game the Kansas City Chiefs were on track to lose anyway.<\/p>\n<p>After the injury, Mahomes went into the blue medical tent, and a few minutes later, he came out with the medical staff still helping him. The staff took him to the locker room, so it\u2019s not a good sign that he wasn\u2019t able to walk there himself.
