The Kansas City Chiefs secured a dominant 35-13 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium to get back into the win column and improve to 6-2 on the year.

However, the win came with a serious injury scare in the second quarter involving star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

As Mahomes faced pressure from the left side, Jets rookie David Bailey hit his throwing arm mid-release. The hit sent Mahomes to the ground and forced him to leave the field in clear pain while holding his elbow.

Although Mahomes grimaced while throwing the football on the sideline, he ultimately returned to the game and finished it, which was a sign of relief for all of Kansas City.
