On Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice suffered a brutal knee injury that was initially feared to be an ACL tear but is likely much less severe. The injury happened after Patrick Mahomes collided with Rice while both tried to make a tackle after an interception.

On Thursday, while talking to reporters, Mahomes revealed what was going on in his mind during the play.

“I didn’t notice it in the moment, I more worried about trying to get the ball,” Mahomes said. “But obviously, I was just trying to make a play, and it happens whenever you’re trying to make tackles.”

He later touched on his reaction to the injury after seeing the replay and the injury for the first time.

“I mean, when I saw the replay, I felt like shit that I hit Rashee,” he continued. “I think that’s pretty much all — I mean, I wasn’t worried about myself. I was worried about, hopefully, his injury and hoping it wasn’t as bad as it looked because I was the one that hit him.”

Of course, the hit was unintentional and could be considered more of a freak accident. Luckily, though, new reports suggest that Rice voided a season-ending injury and will likely be out for four-plus weeks.

Patrick Mahomes Is Not Off To His Usual Start

Patrick Mahomes is easily one of the most skilled quarterbacks ever and consistently puts up MVP numbers.

However, that hasn’t been the case four weeks into the season. So far, Mahomes has completed 83 passes in 121 attempts for 904 yards, six touchdowns, five interceptions, and a passer rating of 89.7.

It’s just four games into the season, though, and he still has plenty of time to turn it around and return to MVP form.
