It looks like he points at his right leg, and he reaches toward his knee a bit. Definitely looks hurt. pic.twitter.com/GEEQJgZDJg

Patrick Mahomes, the most exciting player in the NFL, went for a quarterback sneak on fourth and one near the goal line against the Broncos and appeared to suffer a lower leg injury. Coming into the game, Mahomes has been hobbled by an ankle injury for the past several weeks. While it appeared as though he would be carted off, the comparative good news is that he walked off on his own power.

Matt Moore is Mahomes' backup; the Chiefs have already ruled Mahomes out with a knee injury.

Here is a close-up video of Mahomes getting his knee popped into place. Warning: It is not for the squeamish:

I'm no doctor, but that looked a lot like they just had to pop Mahomes' knee(cap) back into place.

Update: Some comparatively good news, pending the MRI:

Hearing early indications are that Patrick Mahomes has a dislocated knee but at the moment it looks like it isn’t fractured, per a source. MRI coming tomorrow when we’ll know more, but it’s a positive early sign.
