The Facts: Mahomes was able to return to the Chiefs' lineup despite an injured right ankle in time to help lead them to a divisional round playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday, giving the Chiefs optimism he would be ready to compete in next Sunday's AFC Championship Game. "Let's just see how it goes here the next couple days. It's going to be sore, I know, but let's see where he is at," HC Andy said. "He's had this before, and he was able to keep pushing through."

Diehards Line: Mahomes will undergo an MRI on Sunday to gain further clarity on the ankle injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday night. X-rays of the ankle were negative. In Mahomes' absence in the second quarter, backup quarterback Chad Henne led the Chiefs on what proved to be a key drive. The Chiefs drove 98 yards for a touchdown, which came on Henne's 1-yard pass to Travis Kelce. "We know that if it's up to Pat, he's going to be in there," said Kelce, who on Saturday had 14 catches, one short of an NFL playoff record, and two touchdowns. "I'm sure he had some words with everyone on the sideline wanting to get back in there, as fast as possible. But we had a veteran guy, Chad Henne, stepping up to the plate yet again in the playoffs. Playoff Chad, baby. We keep finding ways to win with him at QB. ..." Mahomes was 22-of-30 passing for 195 yards and two touchdowns. He said the tender ankle affected his throwing on certain passes. And of course, we'll be following Mahomes' progress closely in coming days.
