Immediately after Patrick Mahomes flipped the game-tying touchdown pass to Samaje Perine early in the fourth quarter, Arrowhead Stadium went quiet when the star quarterback started hobbling:

Thankfully, Mahomes’ non-contact injury and scare proved to be nothing serious. He didn’t miss a single snap, and the Chiefs won an overtime thriller 30-24 in a Super Bowl 55 rematch.
A new video has emerged showing the epic interaction between Reid and Mahomes after the latter suffered an injury. Reid asked the superstar signal-caller if he wanted to be taken out, but No. 15 said, “No, no. Come on man.”

Reid: “Do you want me to take you out?”
Patrick: “No, no, c’mon man.”
