By Amy Kaplan
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a concussion against the Cleveland Browns and NFL Twitter was full of big reactions.
Nothing is scarier than watching your star quarterback battle injury on the field but that’s what Kansas City Chiefs fans saw when Patrick Mahomes was immediately wobbly after a scary hit in their NFL playoff game with the Cleveland Browns.
Mahomes was taken off the field, clearly out of it, and we’re still waiting on the health update at press time. He’s currently in concussion protocols.
In case you missed it, here’s what happened.

Needless to say, everyone on Twitter had something to say about the moment that could have a big impact on the rest of the NFL playoffs and whether the Chiefs can repeat as Super Bowl champions. The Chiefs later ruled Mahomes was out for the game with the concussion.

No way Mahomes should come back on the field. If the concussion protocols are worth shit, he does return. Seen it in rugby enough, he's concussed.

Dear God,

Please return Patrick Levon Mahomes II back into the game. I will go back to church, please. Thank you. Amen.
At press time the Chiefs were leading the Browns 22-10 with about four minutes remaining in the third quarter. There’s still plenty of time for the Browns to come from behind, especially with Mahomes potentially out of the game.
