Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, right, throws the ball away under pressure from Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack during the second half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025, in Kansas City, Mo. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to be helped to the locker room after hurting his left knee while trying to rally his team against the Los Angeles Chargers, when a loss would have eliminated them from playoff contention. The Chiefs were trailing 16-13 with just under two minutes to go when Mahomes scrambled toward the Kansas City sideline, threw the ball away and was spun to the ground by Chargers defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand. Mahomes immediately grabbed his left knee, which appeared to hyperextend as he was going to the ground. He was taken to the blue injury tent on the Kansas City sideline, then helped to the locker room with a towel over his head. Gardner Minshew entered the game and was intercepted by Derwin James with 14 seconds remaining to lock up the Chiefs’ loss.Three months after stepping down, Denver CEO acquires local brands Freebird, The Pro's Closet and Jane.comColorado to expand free recycling pickup statewide, adding service to 700,000 homesAsking Eric: Son and father are fighting, but parents still want to celebrate son’s birthdaySocks, the beloved 'Coors Field Cat,' is missing Keeler: When Colorado wrestling team suffered crash in Lakewood, three towns opened hearts, wallets: 'The community is special.'
