Podcast: The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMoniglePublished On: Mon Dec 15 2025
Description: BT dives into the shocking news of Patrick Mahomes' torn ACL, questioning the future trajectory of his Hall-of-Fame career. He argues that Mahomes' "all-world production" had already "stagnated" over the last three seasons, noting a sharp drop in touchdown totals and a concerning reliance on athleticism that an ACL injury—and a "thickish" build—might permanently compromise. Tierney suggests that the injury, which typically requires a 9–12 month recovery, could keep Mahomes off the field past Week 1 of next season. The discussion points to the decline of his supporting cast (Travis Kelce, post-Tyreek Hill) and the team's confounding offensive struggles as contributing factors to his recent "rough time scoring," raising the question: Can Mahomes return to his MVP form, or is the Chiefs' dynasty officially over?
