Kansas City Chiefs lost to one of the worst teams and are now without a quarterback.
Kansas City Chiefs are closing out one of their worst seasons in the worst possible way. They haven’t performed this poorly since Andy Reid took over, especially since Patrick Mahomes arrived. The season has been a complete disaster for the team, which hasn’t been able to maintain the level of play they showed in recent seasons. They had reached the last three Super Bowls.
Even Mahomes wasn’t enough to reach a decent level. It’s clear they needed improvements in every aspect and to strengthen their roster properly, which they failed to do. The breaking point was their home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, which eliminated them from the playoffs. Furthermore, they lost Patrick for a significant period in that game. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and may have also damaged the medial collateral ligament.
As a result, Gardner Minshew took over as the starting quarterback against the Tennessee Titans last Sunday. It was a crushing defeat against one of the worst teams in the league, and they also lost their backup quarterback.
Kansas City Chiefs’ troubles continue
In their game against the Titans, the Chiefs suffered a crushing 26-9 defeat, delivering a dismal performance. However, that wasn’t all. In the second quarter, Minshew went down without contact, clutching his left knee. He continued playing, but it was clear he couldn’t go on. He left the field, and according to ESPN sources, Gardner suffered a torn ACL.
This injury will cap off a disastrous season for the Chiefs, who lost both of their key quarterbacks, forcing them to bring in a third. Chris Oladokun, who had only played one NFL game before, back in January 2024, will make his first start next week against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium, a tough challenge against one of the league’s top three defenses. He will finish the season against one of the worst teams, the Las Vegas Raiders.
