NFL world reacts to Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes injury vs. Jaguars: 'This is not OK' image

Patrick Mahomes was injured late in the first quarter of the Chiefs' divisional round playoff game vs. the Jaguars on Saturday.

Mahomes appeared to have his ankle and knee injured on a hit by Jacksonville's Arden Key. Instead of leaving the game, the 2018 NFL MVP remained on the field despite being clearly hobbled, finishing the remainder of the drive: six plays following the injury, which also included a break between the first and second quarters.
