On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024-25 regular season came to an end with a road loss to the Denver Broncos, a game which Patrick Mahomes and most of the Chiefs’ other starters took in from the sidelines.

Though he was able to grit his teeth and play through some pain in Kansas City’s Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes is still listed on the Chiefs’ injury report. Will Mahomes’ ankle injury affect his ability to participate in Kansas City’s Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos?

On Tuesday, the Raiders announced that head coach Antonio Pearce had been officially fired after one season as the full-time head coach (2024) and one season as the interim head coach (2023). After the news was released by ESPN and multiple other large media networks, fans shared their immediate reactions.
