The Chiefs have won 4 games in a row after taking down the Browns 21-7 in Week 15, covering as 4.5-point road favorites with the Under (41.5) cashing. QB Patrick Mahomes went 19 of 38 for 159 yards and 2 TDs with no picks but injured his ankle and left the game in the fourth quarter. A source told ESPN Monday that Mahomes has a high ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated through the week. The quarterback said he would have stayed in the Browns game had it been a critical game.
