Anybody else confused by Mahomes’ injury? There is no significant impact to the

Head. Concussions can occur with whiplash injury, so maybe it was that, but to me it looked more like the guy choked him out as he tackled him by the neck and maybe he blacked out for a second. Just weird.

Posssible. I think it’s the forehead on the ground. That’s not a typical angle.

Good catch. Looks like he actually bounces it off the ball if anything.

Well here's my two cents. It had as much to do with his cervical spine as

Do any other docs think this could have been a vasovagal syncope type reaction?
