NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

Whew! KC wins. Will Mahomes be able to play? That is the question. I will agree w/ others; it did not look like a concussion, rather some kind of neck strain/stretch. Will they call it a concussion?

If they do call it a concussion, will Mahomes be out next week?

Great job Defense and Henne! Game ball to both.
He had wobbly legs and had to be held up, definitely a concussion.
 
Not necessarily. You could have an initial lack of oxygen/blood flow, or a neck strain that could conceivably cause dizziness/loss of balance after that hit. It did not look like a typical concussion where the head hits turf/opposing helmet hard.
He did not get the wind knocked out of him and it’s not like a choke hold was put on him, so I’m not seeing how he could have been deprived of O2. His whole body was drove into him as his head made contact with the ground which is a high probability concussion hit.

If you watch the replay, his head never hit the ground. The hit was in the shoulder area and the neck, not his head. Which like I said, never hit the ground at all.

You may be right. I don't know. We'll see what the unbiased medical experts say because I believe he was placed in concussion protocol? Not sure about that.

Yes, reporters also said he was done during the game due to a concussion.
 
I have hopes Mahomes will be back next week. I think in this day and age, even though Mahomes is a 'headliner', they will hold him out if any medical risk.
 
I added a link to the play, there is no grass on his helmet when he comes up. Its difficult to tell, but his head was not driven into the ground at all.

In the replay you posted you can see his head go down and bounce up right before they show the ground, when you factor in where his helmet is and the bounce height, I believe his head hit.

I will leave it as we disagree since it doesn’t matter what we think. He was placed in the concussion protocol and all that matters is if he gets released or not.
 
Damn. First Kyle Kempt is Mayfield's daddy and now Chad Henne? At least maybe his wife can make the commercials.

In my own personal canon, in the Progressive thanksgiving commercial where Baker is cooking dinner in the concession stand, Joel Lanning is sitting in the next room at the head of the family table.

There is lots of talk about protocols and unbiased medical staff, but I guarantee Mahomes will starting next week. Doctors be damned.
