Patrick Mahomes a Toss-up to Play Against Vikings This Sunday
By Michael Luciano
It looked like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was done for the season after his serious knee injury a week ago, but he's apparently moving around well enough to potentially suit up this Sunday.
Mahomes was ruled as questionable to start against Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings.

Mahomes, who is still leading the NFL in yards per game, yards per completion, and lowest interception percentage, missed the majority of Kansas City's Thursday Night matchup against the Denver Broncos and the entirety of their loss against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night.
If the 2018 NFL MVP is still unable to go, Matt Moore, who played very well against a good Packers defense, is likely in line to start next.

Moore has done an excellent job filling in for Mahomes, but no one in this league can adequately replace him on the field. Even with their poor defense giving leads away, the Chiefs have to be considered Super Bowl contenders with Mahomes back in the lineup.
