Minutes after the game, 00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:05.750 Chiefs coach Andy Reid hinted that Mahomes was 00:06:05.750 --> 00:06:09.029 done for the year. stating, it doesn't look good. 00:06:09.870 --> 00:06:12.529 The team confirmed Mahomes suffered a torn ACL 00:06:12.529 --> 00:06:16.529 and is exploring surgical options.

Mahomes, now sidelined, expressed 00:07:04.490 --> 00:07:08.250 his determination to recover, saying, trust in 00:07:08.250 --> 00:07:13.750 God and attack every single day.
