Chiefs get 2 weeks to heal for Super Bowl

KANSAS CITY, Missouri: Patrick Mahomes certainly deserved a game ball from Sunday's (Monday in Manila) AFC title game, when the All-Pro quarterback dashed off on his sprained right ankle in the waning seconds to help set up the winning field goal.

Travis Kelce probably did, too. With the Chiefs missing three wide receivers because of injuries, the All-Pro tight end played through remnants of back spasms that nearly kept him out of the game entirely and finished with seven catches for 78 yards and a score.
