Maclin is an absolute professional and one of the best guys in the league. He’s had a tremendous season for the Chiefs and has really been a huge weapon on offense for them every single game.
To see him in tears is heartbreaking, because he has given everything that he has for the team during their 10-game winning streak. Injuries are a part of the sport, but it’s never a good time when they happen.
It’s even harder when it happens to a great guy like Maclin. Hopefully he will be okay, but from the look of his reaction, it certainly doesn’t look good for him or Kansas City.
