Kansas City can exhale. An MRI on Patrick Mahomes' right elbow revealed no significant damage, per CBS Sports and NFL insider Ian Rapoport, a day after the Chiefs quarterback's arm bent awkwardly during a 35-12 win over the Jets.
The scare came in the second quarter, when Mahomes was sacked and fumbled just as he was hit in Week 9 action. He returned to finish the game and was defiant about playing through pain afterward, per Yahoo Sports, delivering a strong performance the rest of the way.
The win carried a historical footnote, too: Mahomes and Travis Kelce set an NFL record Sunday, Yahoo Sports reported, further cementing the QB-tight end duo's place among the league's all-time pairings. With the MRI clean, Kansas City appears to have escaped the weekend with the record and its franchise quarterback intact.
