Patrick Mahomes’ mom, Randi, was at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs quarterback suffered a torn left ACL during Sunday’s 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
In the wake of the devastating diagnosis, Mahomes, 30, took to social media to thank those who had reached out in an emotional message — a post Randi re-shared with her followers, along with a heart and prayer hands emojis.
“Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it’s hurts,” Mahomes wrote. “But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again.
