The bigger worry was what came after: Mahomes headed to the sideline for medical attention on his elbow.\n\nTeam medical staff checked him out, and Mahomes started throwing to test the arm. He grimaced through the throws but stayed in the game, returning to the field after Jets kicker Jason Sanders missed a 53-yard field goal attempt with 37 seconds left in the half.\n\nOnce back in, Mahomes looked fine enough, hitting Travis Kelce for a 12-yard gain and juking away from Bailey again before scrambling for 7 yards. That drive set up a 56-yard Harrison Butker field goal attempt that sailed wide right, though the Jets were flagged for being offside on the play.\n\nThe scare comes after a rough stretch for Kansas City, which has been dealing with a two-game skid and a tightening AFC West race with Denver. For now, the Chiefs will take Mahomes staying on the field as a win in itself, elbow and all.","published_at":"2026-11-08T23:05:35.392577+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Andy Reid jabs media after Chiefs fumble quarterback sneak: ‘You asked for it’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/andy-reid-jabs-media-chiefs-230030933.html"},{"outlet":"Awful Announcing","publisher":"Awful Announcing","title":"Andy Reid jabs media after Chiefs fumble quarterback sneak: ‘You asked for it’","url":"https://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/andy-reid-blames-media-quarterback-sneak-chiefs.html"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Takes Rough Hit, But Remains In Game vs. Jets","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/patrick-mahomes-elbow-injury-update-chiefs"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Patrick Mahomes hurts elbow, but returns before halftime; Chiefs lead 14-12","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/patrick-mahomes-hurts-elbow-but-returns-before-halftime-chiefs-lead-14-12"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chiefs News: Patrick Mahomes reminds us how he’s a great teammate","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chiefs-news-patrick-mahomes-reminds-140000940.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Previewing the New York Jets’ opposition: Kansas City Chiefs","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/previewing-york-jets-opposition-kansas-160000690.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes Receives Good News Away From Football","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kansas-city-chiefs-patrick-mahomes-122405935.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Patrick Mahomes rouses Chiefs with fiery pregame speech in Week 9","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/patrick-mahomes-rouses-chiefs-fiery-175717107.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Patrick Mahomes hurts elbow, but returns before halftime; Chiefs lead 14-12","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/patrick-mahomes-hurts-elbow-returns-193454313.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Patrick Mahomes injury update as Chiefs QB leaves game: Live updates","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/patrick-mahomes-injury-chiefs-qb-192733918.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes somehow avoids injury after getting absolutely wrecked by David Bailey","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-somehow-avoids-203508082.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/c70c526a1706fefd6e3602f2720df66d3a13a0c7e15f4e37d2849c4f4343969b/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fawful_announcing_173%2F913d2a289b28427cae093ea845b19fa6.png","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
