Before JuJu’s injury, Kansas City already had several injuries within the team. KC quarterback Patrick Mahomes played the entire AFC Championship game after suffering from a high ankle sprain just one week prior to the game.
After leading the team to a shot at the Super Bowl, fans praised Patrick for the strength and resilience he found in such a short time. “Patrick Mahomes, with an injured ankle and some beat-up wide receivers out, played Joe Burrow by a mile,” one fan tweeted after KC’s victory. “Stop arguing who the best quarterback in the league is. It's Patrick Mahomes.”
Luckily, he's also on the list with JuJu to make a full return to the field just in time to compete in the Super Bowl.
