Chiefs Star Patrick Mahomes Misses Out On Facing Aaron Rodgers Again | Forbes
Sunday night’s Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets game was supposed to represent the first meeting between Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers, but Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon before even completing a pass in Week One.
“Obviously, it sucks for not only him and his team but for the entire league because he’s such a great player,” Mahomes said. “You want to play the teams at their best.”
The first Mahomes-Rodgers matchup was supposed to take place in Week Eight of the 2019 season, but Mahomes’ dislocated kneecap prevented him from playing, and Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to a 31-21 win at Arrowhead Stadium.
