BONUS!! : Story regarding the Feature image
After a strip-sack that Mahomes miraculously recovered earlier in the quarter, Bosa once again was bearing down on Mahomes on a critical third-and-5 late in the game’s third quarter.
But Mahomes’ nimble feet allowed him to escape the outstretched arms of the 49ers’ prized rookie and pick up the first down, keeping Kansas City’s comeback hopes alive.
“I actually didn’t even feel Bosa behind me until right when he dove,” Mahomes told NBC Sports’ Peter King. “And when he dove, I think that last second of me seeing him, kinda diving at my leg, I was able to get my knees up. That was a big thing when you’re running away from a guy that gets your legs, to keep your knees up and keep your feet from dragging on the ground.
“He hit me hard. He hit me hard — might’ve left a little bruise actually. But I was able to still get around the side to get a first down on that play.”
