Itâs not often a third-string, practice-squad quarterback is thrust into a game, but thatâs exactly what transpired Sunday in the Kansas City Chiefsâ 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Just a week after Patrick Mahomesâ season ended due to a torn ACL, backup QB Gardner Minshew also suffered a significant knee injury. That meant Chris Oladokun â a 2022 seventh-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers â would have to lead the Chiefs. âYou see Gardner go down, and I hate it for him,â Oladokun said. âAnd the next thing my mind went to is, âIâve got to rally the troops now and go win a football game.â Those guys out there, they battled their (tails) off, and I canât say enough good things." Though the Chiefs didnât win, Oladokun proved serviceable, completing 11 of 16 passes for 111 yards and rushing for another seven. And KC fans are now likely to see Oladokun again in the Christmas Day game against the Broncos. Read more analysis about the loss to the Titans at the link above.
