Summary

Kansas City Chiefs face a crushing setback as Patrick Mahomes suffers a potentially serious knee injury, putting both his season and the future in doubt. Playoff hopes evaporate after a tough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead, while concerns mount over the offensive line’s protection and the lingering impact on star teammates like Travis Kelce. Ryan Tracy, Chris Clark, and Matt Derrick break down Andy Reid’s updates, the latest on Mahomes’ MRI, and the ripple effect of mounting injuries across the roster. Analysis spotlights critical mistakes, from stalled drives to special teams breakdowns, and questions if younger talents like Tyquan Thornton and Chu Godrick are ready to step up. Find out how the Chiefs’ defense responded, what went wrong on offense, and what this all means for Kansas City’s rebuilding prospects in the 2026 NFL season.

Matt, welcome to the show,

1:03.7

and I want to start with you right off the bat. Nothing could have been worse than what we saw today in the end with Patrick Mahomes, hyper extending his knee at the very least, going away

1:09.4

from trying to make a comeback against a division rival that already

1:12.8

had your number. This is something that's very, very difficult. I don't put anything on Gardner

1:33.6

Yeah, I mean, there were really two parts of it.

1:35.8

One is that Patrick Mahomes will be getting an MRI either tonight or Monday morning.
