Red Raider fans rally around Patrick Mahomes as Texas Tech legend endures ACL tear

The Kansas City Chiefs will be missing out on the playoffs this season. And that alone would be enough to raise some eyebrows for Texas Tech football fans given that the Chiefs are led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is one of the greatest Red Raiders to ever play for the Texas Tech football program. 

But what happened in the Chiefs’ game on Saturday is going to be even more alarming for Texas Tech football fans than just the fact that the Los Angeles Chargers managed to beat Kansas City. Patrick Mahomes won’t be playing football any time soon as he has officially torn his ACL.

That injury, as difficult as it is, will certainly lead to a lengthy, painful recovery process and a ton of time on the sideline trying to get healthy for the former Texas Tech quarterback.

Here’s how Texas Tech football fans showed up to show support for one of the greatest to ever play for the Red Raiders.

There wasn’t any shortage of support for Mahomes following his injury. Whether it was from pro athletes and celebrities and former NFL quarterbacks or from folks who have been rooting for Mahomes since he played out in Lubbock, the famed former Texas Tech quarterback got plenty of love from folks rallying around him.

And that sort of support is always a good thing. Especially for folks who are recovering from an injury like this one. It’s great to see people rally around one another. An ACL tear can take quite some time to recover fully and these sorts of injuries can have all sorts of impacts on a person’s state of mind. Having support and community matters when dealing with this.
