Patrick Mahomes’ mother questioned the blow that took her son out of last week’s playoff division game. But the NFL did not see it the same way.
The league wasn’t well Browns linebacker Mack Wilson for the blow that left the Chiefs quarterback with a concussion, Tom Pelissero, of NFL Media.
An independent neurologist released Mahomes on Friday to play in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. He was limited in all three practices this week, listed with concussion and a toe injury.
Wilson tweeted his relief at Mahomes’ status on Friday, writing: “The prayer was answered.. Play 15! @PatrickMahomes ”
Mahomes liked the tweet.
Wilson responded to Randi Mahomes’ criticism earlier in the week after she called it “junk football” and questioned why officials didn’t kick him out.
“Without disrespect mother, ”Wilson replied. “I’m just playing hard. This is a dangerous game that we play and risk every time we step on the field. I’m glad Pat is fine, but remember … I was never a dirty player. I just want to win and be great as your son. “
Randi Mahomes accepted Wilson’s explanation, and the league apparently saw the coup just as Wilson did.
