Chad Henne Completes First Playoff TD Pass, Fans Chant His Name After 98-Yard Drive

No Mahomes, no problem.

After Kansas City Chiefs signal caller Patrick Mahomes suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s divisional round playoff contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars, backup quarterback Chad Henne entered the game and brought much-needed energy with him.

The 37-year-old former Jaguar, who has not started a game in eight years, completed his first ever playoff touchdown pass in the second quarter to Travis Kelce after leading Kansas City downfield for a 98-yard drive, which gave the Chiefs the 17-7 lead.

Henne completed 5 of 7 passes during the drive that gave the Chiefs the lead before halftime.

The touchdown sent GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in a frenzy, and the home fans began to chant Henne’s name and immediately NFL twitter exploded:

Mahomes returned to the field to start the second half.
