He got hit in the back of the head and kind of knocked the wind out of him and everything else with it,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We took him out.

“He’s doing great right now, which is a real positive as we look at this. He passed all the deals that he needed to pass. So we’ll see where it goes from here.”

Mahomes jogged to the locker room after the hit, where he was evaluated by an independent doctor. He did not return. Chad Henne finished off the 22-17 win against the Browns in the AFC Divisional Round.

Reid said he had a conversation with Mahomes after the game, as did Henne, who said, “he’s in good spirits.” For what it’s worth, Mahomes tweeted his excitement about the win shortly after it concluded.

Now Mahomes’ status looms over the AFC Championship Game with the Bills coming to Kansas City in a week.

Asked about that, Reid said, “We’ll see how he is tomorrow, but right now he’s feeling good.”
