>>Chiefs Take Down Browns; Mahomes Injured
(Cleveland, OH) — The Chiefs toyed with the Browns in a 21-7 win from Cleveland. Patrick Mahomes threw for 159 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. The defense combined for six takeaways for the first time since 2016 as Kansas City won its fourth straight game and remains first in the AFC West at 13-and-1. The Chiefs will return home to host the Houston Texans in Week 16.

Right ankle gets caught, eversion mechanism which can cause a high ankle or medial ankle sprain. Also looking at the right knee twisting which would be concerning for MCL but not sure that’s the problem. Hope he’s okay pic.twitter.com/ce6X6odXGh

>>Chiefs’ Mahomes Exits Browns Win With Ankle Injury
The Chiefs are hoping their star quarterback isn’t seriously hurt. Patrick Mahomes left Sunday’s 21-7 win over the Browns late in the fourth quarter with an ankle issue. He didn’t return. Head coach Andy Reid told the media that nothing is “broken” after the game and considers Mahomes day-to-day. The star quarterback said he would have “fought” harder to return if the game was closer. Kansas City has a quick turnaround with a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Texans at Arrowhead and will play four days later on Christmas day against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
