Patrick Mahomes's Helmet Cracked by Forceful Red-Zone Hit From Dolphins' DeShon Elliott

Football fans can be forgiven for thinking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is indestructible.

In the course of his seven-year career, after all, he's shrugged off a handful of minor injuries to lead the Chiefs to three AFC titles and two Super Bowl championships.

On Saturday, however, the NFL world learned that even Mahomes is not immune to the occasional freak equipment malfunction.

With 9:25 left in the third quarter of Kansas City's wild-card showdown with the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes escaped the pocket and broke around right end for the Dolphins' goal line. He was met by Miami safety DeShon Elliott at the Dolphins' 3-yard line, and Elliott struck Mahomes with such force it sent a piece of his helmet flying off.

Mahomes headed to the sideline for a spare helmet, but not before displaying a black chip in his damaged helmet to Peacock's cameras.
