Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, suffered a season-ending ACL tear in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, ruling the Chiefs out of the NFL play-offs for the first time since 2014. Despite three remaining regular-season games, the Chiefs have been eliminated from contention after a 6-8 record this season. Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl winner, expressed gratitude for support and vowed to come back stronger from the injury, potentially marking the end of an era for Kansas City's NFL dynasty under head coach Andy Reid.
