Some scary news for fans of the Kansas City Chiefs as Patrick Mahomes left the team’s Week 15 matchup against the Cleveland Browns after taking a hit from defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. while attempting to throw on a fourth down play.

Mahomes attempted to jump up and throw the ball over Hall Jr. and a defensive lineman grabbed him at the waist and brought him down before landing on his legs. The weight was predominantly on his left leg which resulted in the quarterback getting up with some difficulty.
