The Great Mahomes Mystery: Lost, Injured, or Just Taking a Snack Break?
Hold onto your helmets, Chiefs fans, because there's been a rumble in the jungle (and by jungle, we mean Arrowhead Stadium, and by rumble, we mean everyone's slightly freaking out). Patrick Mahomes, our fearless leader and purveyor of ridiculously perfect no-look throws, hasn't exactly been setting the practice field on fire lately.

Did Someone Lose Mahomes?
Now, before you start hoarding Arrowhead Stadium nachos in preparation for the apocalypse, let's pump the brakes a bit. There hasn't been an official announcement about Mahomes being traded to Siberia (although that would be a heck of a story). The most recent reports suggest he might be under the weather, battling a villain even tougher than the Denver Broncos' defense: the flu. Yes, you read that right. The almighty Mahomes may be brought down by the sniffles.
Maybe He's Just Taking a Strategic Snack Break?
Here's another theory, and this one involves conspiracy theories, tinfoil hats, and a whole lot of wishful thinking: Mahomes is strategically taking a break. He's stockpiling his magic arm strength, conserving that laser focus, all to unleash a fury of touchdowns the likes of which the NFL has never seen.
Let's be honest, this is probably not the case. But hey, a man can dream, right?
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
In all seriousness, there's no need to panic. Mahomes is a tough cookie, and the Chiefs have a great medical team. We'll likely have a clearer picture on his status soon.
