The anticipated quarterback matchup between former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and Patrick Mahomes ended earlier than expected in the NFL playoffs on Sunday.

The Kansas Chiefs’ quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP was taken out of the game midway through the third quarter with an expected concussion..

After having his head slammed to the ground on a third-and-short quarterback run resulting in a first down, the Chiefs’ superstar got up wobbly and left the game.
