The last time the Chiefs went without Patrick Mahomes because of an injury, they went on to win the Super Bowl.
That won’t happen this time. The Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs with Sunday’s home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Three games remain, and unless the Chiefs make a move at quarterback, Gardner Minshew will bring the team home.
In 2019, Mahomes missed two starts in the middle of the season when he suffered a dislocated kneecap in a Week 7 game at Denver.
The Chiefs’ backup quarterback that season was Chad Henne, but he fractured his right ankle in a preseason game, landing him on injured reserve. The Chiefs then brought in Matt Moore, who had been out of football the previous year.
But Moore filled in admirably for Mahomes. In the game at Denver, then home games against the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, Moore threw four touchdown passes and no interceptions.
The Chiefs went on the beat the Broncos and Vikings on their way to a 12-4 season that ended with the Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Since then, the only starts Mahomes has missed have been in Week 18 games when the Chiefs’ playoff position has been clinched and most starters rested.
Minshew, who has started 46 games for four NFL teams, said he’s ready to begin his new role for the Chiefs.
“I’ll do whatever the coaches ask of me, and we’ll go try and win,” Minshew said.
