Patrick Mahomes‘ season is over after a devastating knee injury took him out of Sunday’s game … with the team just announcing he’s torn his ACL.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback led his squad against the Los Angeles Chargers … and, down 16-13 later in the fourth quarter, Mahomes rolled out to the right — looking to make a play with his legs.

Watch at your own risk … Mahomes throws the ball away to avoid a tackle for loss — but his left knee lands awkwardly and gives out.
PM was clearly in pain on the field … crying out in agony and taking his helmet off — while several of his teammates kneeled on the gridiron to say a silent prayer for their captain.
A couple trainers helped Mahomes off the field for evaluation … and, they eventually walked him to the locker room — with the 2-time NFL MVP putting basically no weight on the leg.
To make matters worse … Mahomes’ replacement, Gardner Minshew, came in and throw a game-ending interception deep in Chargers territory. The loss ended the Chiefs playoff hopes for the season.
