NFL Fans Debate Jags Player Injuring Patrick Mahomes Purposely

NFL Fans Debated Slow-Mo Video Showing Jags Player Trying To Injure Patrick Mahomes (VIDEO + TWEETS)

Patrick Mahomes hurt his ankle early in the divisional game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The quarterback went down on a tackle in the first quarter, and had a defender’s leg fall onto his right ankle which twisted as he went to the ground. Mahomes was limping and hobbled to the sideline.

A slow-mo of the video makes it look worse than it really was, but it opened it up for debate on whether the defender was trying to hurt Mahomes.

Here’s how social media responded:

They’ve made defense impossible to play. Wrap up and take him down and the refs call unnecessary roughness.

This wasn’t dirty, nor malicious, it was actually the smartest play the defender could make based on the way refs are calling the game.
