Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans after a blow to his head.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback scrambled to buy time on a pass play midway through the fourth quarter. But Titans pass rusher Denico Autrey caught him from behind and grabbed his right ankle. Then defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons hit him high, making contact with his head and forcing his neck to snap back.
Mahomes lost the ball on the play and laid on the field in obvious pain. He needed help from his teammates to walk to the sideline. Chad Henne took over at quarterback after the play with the Titans holding a 27-3 lead.
