He suffered the injury in the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p>That year ended with disappointment as well. The Chiefs were blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 in Tom Brady&#8217;s final Super Bowl. In 2025, the Chiefs went 6-11 and missed the playoffs, and Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes&#8217; injury occurred in Week 15<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3634456\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3634456\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Chiefs-news-Patrick-Mahomes-undergoes-successful-surgery-after-ACL-tear.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' Trainer Puts The NFL On Alert During Injury Rehab\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3634456\">Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mahomes suffered his torn ACL injury during the fourth quarter in a game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Gardner Minshew would fill in for Mahomes, and he tore his ACL the following week. Chris Oladokun, a seventh-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, and Shane Buechele finished the season under center.<\/p>\n<p>Before his injury, Mahomes was averaging 256.2 yards per game, throwing for 3,587 yards. He also passed for 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Mahomes also rushed for 422 yards (a career-high) and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Mahomes is rehabbing his torn ACL and LCL injuries after getting surgery to repair them. Hopefully, he will be back in time for the first game of the 2026 NFL season. The Chiefs are going to hope to get back to the top of the mountain after five Super Bowl appearances under Mahomes.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes be back better than ever after his injury?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41278,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[543,19,18,128],"class_list":["post-41277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-celebrity","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-nfl","tag-patrick-mahomes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NEWS: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes&#039;
