Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes explains how he got ankle ready for ...

The low point of Super Bowl LVII, from the Chiefs’ perspective, might have been when quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to re-injure his ankle shortly before halftime.

When Rihanna took the stage, the Chiefs trailed by 10 points and Mahomes appeared to be in serious pain.

“I kind of faked like I was gonna pitch it,” Mahomes said of the play in the Netflix docuseries “Quarterback.” “I thought I had a chance to go get that first down.”

Instead, an Eagles defender rolled the ankle he had hurt weeks earlier, and cameras showed Mahomes struggled to get to the Chiefs sideline.

Instead of the Chiefs faltering, Mahomes led scoring drives on all four second-half possessions. The Chiefs won 38-35.

In the Netflix docuseries, Mahomes explained how he was able to get his ankle ready for the rigors of the final 30 minutes.

“Luckily for me, it was right before half so I didn’t have to go back out there before the half,” Mahomes said.

Mic’d-up video showed Mahomes tell the Chiefs staff late in the second quarter: “It’s just sensitive as (heck). I’m good.”

Because of the concert, the Super Bowl halftime is more than twice as long as the usual break during the regular season.

That was beneficial to Mahomes, who explained what he did to get the ankle ready.

“We had that long halftime so I was able to take my shoe completely off, cut the tape off, get it moving again, get that mobility a little bit back,” Mahomes said in the Netflix show. “And then mentally prepare myself to go out there and play that second half.”

Mahomes added: “I think just having that rest and that time to kind of let the ankle and that sensation kind of settle down a little bit. All right, I know it hurt, let’s mentally tell yourself that you can finish just one more half of football, then you can worry about it in the offseason.”

The Chiefs got the ball to open the second half, and Mahomes explained why it was important for him to be out there.

“We knew it was going to be a big first drive,” he said. “And so I felt like just me getting in that huddle and just not even talking about the ankle, not doing anything, it just showed the guys I’m gonna put it all out there.”

On that first drive, Mahomes broke off a 14-yard run and got a first down.

More importantly he knew at that moment, he’d be able to stay on the field for the rest of Super Bowl LVII.

“I think that run told me that ankle was gonna be good enough to go and finish this game,” Mahomes said in the show.
