The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has expressed his confidence in his team’s ability to come away with the AFC title in their showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
“AFC championship week, ready to go,” Mahomes announced, going on to discuss his recovery from a high ankle sprain that he picked up during the Chiefs’ 27-20 divisional round playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday.
“It’s doing good,” he explained. “I’ve done a few days of treatment, a few days of rehab. Excited to get on the practice field and kind of test it out and see where I’m at. But it’s feeling good so far.”
While Mahomes was able to see out the game against the Jaguars, he did have to adjust his style of play in order to cope with the injury setback. Although the league leader in passes from outside the pocket in the regular season, Mahomes did not make any such passes during the Jaguars game.
According to Mahomes, this injury will not impact his game against the Bengals. Instead, he will focus on finding the best ways to make effective throws that will hand Kansas City a path to victory.
