Saturday night marked an unexpected first for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.A forceful hit by Miami Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott shattered a piece of Mahomes’ helmet, a sight rarely seen on the football field.Mahomes didn’t know his helmet was shattered
Talking about the incident with reporters after the Chiefs dominating 26-7 win over the Dolphins in frigid weather,Mahomes said he didn’t realize his helmet was broken until the next play’s huddle when his teammates told him.
“I’m sure it had to do with it being really cold. I didn’t know it happened in the moment, but I got in the huddle and everybody was telling me. I was, ‘I’m not coming out of the game.’ It was a first for me.”The 28-year-old quarterback, known for his resilience, admitted, “I have not seen that happen to a football helmet before.”
The bone-chilling weather, with temperatures plummeting below zero and wind chills hitting 20 degrees below, added an unfamiliar dimension to Mahomes’ experience.”I’m sure it had to do with it being really cold,” he remarked.Despite the helmet mishap, Mahomes showcased his mettle, delivering an admirable performance with 262 yards and a touchdown pass, coupled with 41 yards rushing.
The collision with Elliott resulted in a stoppage for a replacement helmet, but even the backup posed challenges in the frigid conditions.Mahomes humorously revealed, “They have a backup that’s out there. We have to talk about where we store the backup because it was frozen – when I tried to put it on it was completely frozen. I couldn’t put it on,”
As Kansas City advanced to the Divisional Round, Chiefs fans, and perhaps Mahomes himself, will be hopeful for equipment that stands up to the intensity of playoff football without shattering in the cold
