It would be double bad news for the Chiefs.

The Philadelphia Eagles put the Las Vegas Raiders behind them, snapping their losing streak. The Chicago Bears made it look easy against the Cleveland Browns. The Seattle Seahawks spoiled Philip Rivers’ return and kept pace with the Rams.

Patrick Mahomes suffers torn ACL, Chiefs star's season is over: reports

Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes will be out for the rest of the season as he suffered a torn ACL on Sunday in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, according to multiple reports.

Mahomes’ knee buckled while he was scrambling and as he was getting hit by Chargers defensive end Da’Shawn Hand. He was helped off the field and he limped to the locker room. An MRI reportedly confirmed the extent of the damage.

The quarterback wrote a message to fans as word of his injury trickled out.

"Don’t know why this had to happen," Mahomes wrote on X. "And not going to lie (it) hurts. But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again. Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers. I Will be back stronger than ever."

Chiefs coach Andy Reid offered a gloomy outlook for Mahomes as he spoke to reporters following the loss.

PHILIP RIVERS THROWS FIRST TOUCHDOWN PASS SINCE 2020 SEASON

"… It didn’t look good," Reid said when asked whether he knew if Mahomes’ injury was serious. "I mean you guys saw it. We’ll just see where it goes."

The loss to the Chargers also meant the Chiefs will not be making the postseason. Kansas City made it to the AFC Championship each season since 2018. They made it to the Super Bowl in each of the last three seasons, winning two titles in that span.

Mahomes will finish the season with 3,398 passing yards and 22 touchdown passes.

Kansas City is 6-8 on the year.
