Patrick Mahomes didn't let an injury sideline him Sunday.

The 23-year-old quarterback played through an ankle sprain in the Chiefs' 40-26 win over the Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field, coach Andy Reid told reporters after the game.

Mahomes appeared to suffer the injury with a little less than nine minutes to play in the second quarter after he ended up on the bottom of a pile. He was attended to by trainers and limped off the field, but re-entered the game moments later. HC Andy Reid said it wasn't hindering him. Mahomes looks like he should be fine, but it's something to keep an eye on. Other reports said it was a mild high ankle sprain and those can sometimes get worse before they get better.

With Chad Henne suffering a fractured ankle, the Chiefs are signing former Dolphins’ QB Matt Moore, per source.

Moore will now back up Mahomes. Moore didn't play in the NFL in 2018.

Patrick Mahomes said in June that he’s focused on improving his footwork heading into the 2019 season and the Chiefs want him to sharpen up other details of his game as well. Mahomes isn’t just working on his game, though.

He told Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports that he’s working to get his body fat into single digits after getting as low as 12 percent last season. The ketchup-loving quarterback said that he’s cleaned up his nutrition to help with that pursuit and he’s seen results already.

Mahomes was quoted as saying he's got more muscular and has less baby fat. His goal is to feel as fresh as possible at the end of the season.

Andy Reid is putting his faith in Steve Spagnuolo.

The Kansas City Chiefs fired defensive coordinator Bob Sutton after the team’s 37-31 overtime loss in the AFC championship game to the New England Patriots. On Thursday, NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reported the team will hire Spagnuolo to be the team’s new defensive coordinator.

It’s not an overstatement that Reid’s best shot to finally win a Super Bowl might rest on whether Spagnuolo can transform the defense. The offense is perhaps the best in the league. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is going to win NFL MVP next week and the Chiefs have a window to build around him while he’s on his rookie contract, before he signs a massive extension.

If the defense improves, the Chiefs can finally win another Super Bowl. Spagnuolo has some experience building championship defenses.

Spagnuolo’s best work has come with the New York Giants. In 2007, his first season as Giants defensive coordinator, his unit was crucial in a massive Super Bowl upset over the previously undefeated Patriots. The next season, the Giants ranked fifth in the NFL in yards and points allowed.

That was also the last time a Spagnuolo defense ranked better than 10th in yards allowed.

Across 10 seasons, Spagnuolo's defenses have had an average ranking of 21.8 in yards allowed and 20.8 in points allowed.

Patrick Mahomes Mania is running wild, and Primetime Pat and the Kansas City Chiefs are getting another coveted TV slot on Oct. 21.

The Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals are being flexed into the “Sunday Night Football” spot for Week 7, bumping the scheduled NFC West game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams to 4:25 p.m. ET, per multiple reports.

Mahomes and the Chiefs are 5-0 and return to primetime this week against the New England Patriots. Kansas City won in a Week 4 “Monday Night Football” appearance at Denver.

Cincinnati is 4-1 and in first place in the AFC North. The Bengals play archrival Pittsburgh on Sunday.

The ball at Chiefs training camp has gone more to one starting wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, than the other, Sammy Watkins. In the preseason opener last week, Hill caught two passes and Watkins none, even though Watkins was in the game for nine snaps, compared to eight for Hill. But offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said these weren’t necessarily signs that Hill would catch more passes than Watkins during the regular season. It’s more an indication, he said, that QB Patrick Mahomes and Watkins are still getting comfortable with one another.

OC Eric Bieniemy said Watkins is doing a good job in camp—and camp is all about finding rhythm. But for now, it looks like Mahomes is more comfortable throwing to Hill. But there are plenty of mouths to feed in the Chiefs' offense.
