Los Angeles controlled 34:42 of possession, held Kansas City to 49 rushing yards, and sacked Mahomes five times before Da’Shawn Hand’s fourth-quarter takedown ended his season entirely. The Chiefs finished 6-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014. As of February 2026, Mahomes is recovering from ACL and LCL surgery performed in Dallas on December 15 — his return targeted for the opening weeks of the 2026 season.
