It is difficult to enhance a legend without adversity.
The Kansas City Chiefs had a dramatic build-up to their third straight AFC championship game at home when the status of Patrick Mahomes — the best player in the world — was shrouded in a little mystery. The quarterback was put through the concussion protocol during the week stemming from the Divisional round. The more concerning issue, however, was the turf toe he developed one quarter before he was taken out of the game.
Mahomes showed some early struggles last week after the injury but looked much more comfortable out of the halftime locker room before his night ended early.
