Twitter reacts to Patrick Mahomes’ broken helmet after tough run vs. Dolphins

Twitter went crazy after #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes broke his helmet on a gritty run against the #Dolphins.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ playoff matchup against the Miami Dolphins has been full of intrigue. Frigid conditions and a frozen mustache stole the show early in the game, but Patrick Mahomes gave fans something else to talk about early in the second quarter as he drove the Chiefs downfield.

Mahomes ran the ball on a broken red zone play that put Kansas City into scoring position and shoved a defender before hitting the turf near the end zone.

When he made contact with the Dolphins defender, his helmet broke, sending a large piece of plastic onto the frozen playing surface. The reigning MVP played with the broken helmet before officials eventually stopped the action to let the Chiefs signal-caller swap out his gear.

Users on social media went crazy for this second-quarter-sequence and shared their thoughts about what transpired.

Twitter reacts to icicles growing on Chiefs HC Andy Reid’s mustache

Twitter shared its thoughts about the icicles growing on the mustache of #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.

The Kansas City Chiefs are playing against the Miami Dolphins in sub-zero temperatures at Arrowhead Stadium tonight, and fans have been documenting the absolutely brutal weather conditions on social media all day.

While snow isn’t playing a factor in the game, the exceedingly cold air has made life difficult for players on the field and made the viewing experience less than comfortable for those in attendance.

One of the more comical aspects of the night’s events is happening right under Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s nose. The decorated skipper’s signature mustache has been growing literal icicles on Kansas City’s frigid sideline, and users on Twitter made a point to comment about his cartoonish look while watching the Saturday night matchup.

While the Chiefs are heading into halftime with a two-score lead over Miami, the condition of Reid’s cookie broom is starting to dominate the discourse about the game online.

Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to Reid’s remarkable frozen facial hair:

WATCH: Chiefs DB Mike Edwards intercepts Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

#Chiefs DB Mike Edwards intercepted #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to give Kansas City possession with a chance to take a two-score lead.

The Kansas City Chiefs have found their stride against the Miami Dolphins after defensive back Mike Edwards intercepted quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the first quarter of the Wild Card round of the AFC playoffs.

Edwards’ exceptional effort on the play gave reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes great field position to lead a scoring drive that could give the Chiefs a two-score lead.

Check out the veteran defensive back’s game-changing play:

Plays like this could prove to be the difference between a win or loss for Kansas City in this game, and with both sides of the ball off to a great start, Chiefs fans should feel cautiously optimistic about the team’s chances of advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs.

If Andy Reid can keep Kansas City in rhythm and the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium continues being a pest for Tagovailoa when Miami’s offense is on the field, momentum could continue to stay in the Chiefs’ favor.

Twitter reacts to brutal weather in Kansas City ahead of Chiefs’ matchup vs. Dolphins

Twitter shared its thoughts on the brutal weather in Kansas City ahead of the #Chiefs’ matchup against the #Dolphins at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to play the Miami Dolphins in an AFC Wild Card showdown that will take place in absolutely brutal weather conditions at Arrowhead Stadium.

Temperatures are set to sit at or around zero degrees when the game starts, and wind chills are expected to make the air feel even colder.

While the Buffalo Bills’ matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was originally scheduled for Sunday, got moved to Monday night due to a snowstorm in Western New York, all indications are that Kansas City’s game against Miami will be played as originally planned.

Chiefs Kingdom had a field day on social media platforms, speculating about what the experience would be like for those brave enough to attend the game on Saturday night despite the bitter cold.

Bucs vs. Eagles: Three keys to victory in Wild Card weekend

Here’s how the Bucs can survive and advance past the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday:

The Buccaneers and Eagles enter their wild card matchup on Monday with a little bit of recent history to settle. Tampa Bay all but crushed Philadelphia in almost the exact same circumstances in 2021, where the NFC South champions bested a rising but still green Jalen Hurts in the wild card. The Eagles got a bit of revenge in Week 3 earlier this year, running roughshod over the Bucs in an 11-25 blowout.

Circumstances have changed since the first month of the season. The Bucs offense has shown signs of potency while the Eagles barely looked like a playoff team over the last several weeks. It is unlikely Philadelphia can rely on their Week 3 gameplan if they want to advance past the Bucs in the playoffs.

Here are the Bucs’ three keys to victory over the Eagles in their Wild Card game on Monday:

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice ended 2023 regular season with fifth-best PFF grade among rookies

#Chiefs rookie WR Rashee Rice earned the fifth-best PFF grade of any rookie for his performance during the regular season.

Rashee Rice has been a godsend for the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense in a year that the unit has struggled to move the ball with its once-elite passing game.

Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes did his best to make the most of his receiving corps over the course of Kansas City’s 17-game schedule, but wasn’t able to get players like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Justin Watson, or Skyy Moore in rhythm.

Rookie pass catcher Rashee Rice, however, has made a huge impact and has developed into one of Mahomes’ most consistent targets in his first games in the NFL. According to Pro Football Focus, Rice’s 85.4 grade for the 2023 season is the fifth-highest of any rookie.

While there remains plenty of room for Rice to grow, these marks are impressive, especially given his status as a second-round pick. Expect Mahomes to look for Rice against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday as Kansas City seeks to earn a playoff victory in absolutely brutal weather conditions at Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC’s Wild Card round.
