The Kansas City Chiefs are in their second consecutive Super Bowl after defeating the Buffalo Bills 38-24 in the AFC Championship Game, but they also suffered a major loss during the game. During a play in the fourth quarter, attacking Eric Fisher appeared with a leg injury while Patrick Mahomes’ blind side was blocked. Later in the term, announced the Chiefs that Fisher was ruled out for the rest of the game with an Achilles injury. And although the significance of the injury was not disclosed Sunday night, Ian Rapoport, NFL Network, said reported that Fisher sustained a torn Achilles. The injury will keep him from playing in Super Bowl LV.
The first overall pick in the 2013 draft, Fisher has been named the Pro Bowl in two of the past three seasons. Before Fisher sustained his injury on Sunday, he participated in 100% of the Chiefs’ offensive snaps this season, without losing Kansas City’s Week 17 to the Chargers. 1 seed.
The Chiefs were forced to falter a bit along the offensive line, and have already started an attacking attack on Mitchell Schwartz on an injured reserve with a back injury. It would be absolutely cruel for the Chiefs if they were forced to stop like Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl without Fisher and Schwartz. The duel between Barrett and Pierre-Paul combined five bags in the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers.
When Fisher left the game, Mike Remmers moved from right tackle to left and Andrew Wylie to right tackle. The Chiefs may decide to keep up with the change of Super Bowl LV.
