Football fans were already aware that Patrick Mahomes had injured his left knee in their game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Then, for Micah Parsons to clutch the very same part of the body in their Week 15 game came as a shocker.

The Chiefs immediately scheduled an MRI, which confirmed that their superstar quarterback tore the ACL in that knee, effectively ending what was already a disappointing season. During this time, Packers fans waited as their team was in Denver, Colorado, and had to work with the home team and their local medical facilities to get the necessary tests done.

Videos of the star pass rusher limping as he walked away with two members of the team’s medical staff were the last visual on the minds of football fans. Then, Pro Football Talk reported that Parsons likely tore his ACL.

The way his knee buckled as he tried to rush Bo Nix in the 3rd quarter indicated that he will be sidelined for a good 10 months at least. This means the 26-year-old ends his season on the same day Mahomes does, and will have to wait until next year to return to the field.

Football fans react to Micah Parsons’ ACL injury

When the football season enters this phase, injuries become increasingly common. However, most of those generally keep players out for a week or two.

For fans to witness ACL tears to two of the league’s most important superstars was a bit too much to handle. They took to social media to lament this season’s activities.

Fans felt it was cruel that Patrick Mahomes had to go down in that manner. Then for Micah Parsons to join him was as big a blow as they could think of. Check out examples of those reactions below:

Any sport’s success depends not just on the teams, but also on its star players. Whenever the most important of them gets injured in such a manner, it is bound to dampen the mood.

Now, fans won’t have enough to talk about, as it is generally these superstars who give them those highlights that they could talk about at pubs, dinner tables, and while casually meeting friends.

Micah Parsons’ teammates join him on injury list

The Green Bay Packers could not seal the deal against the Denver Broncos, which meant the latter stands pat as the team with the best record. It is not as if Micah Parsons‘ injury was the only reason for their 26-34 loss.

It so happens that the Packers also lost star wide receiver Christian Watson, right tackle Zach Tom, and linebacker Quay Walker to various injuries.

Those three did not suffer season-ending injuries like their star pass-rushing teammate. However, it is enough to hamper the team’s efforts to finish the season with a playoff berth.

Currently, they are 7th in the NFC and do not have a very favorable set of games remaining on their schedule. The franchise will hope that the backups will step up when it matters.
