The Kansas City Chiefs won their second NFL Championship in four years last weekend, edging out the Philadelphia Eagles in an instant-classic thriller, 38-35. The Chiefs, led by head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, trailed the Eagles by ten points at the halftime mark. Mahomes limped to the sideline, noticeably in pain after […]
