What happened: Rex Ryan commended Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes for playing through a UCL injury during an appearance on Sunday. Ryan emphasized Mahomes' physical resilience alongside his established playmaking ability.

Why it matters: Mahomes' durability remains critical for Kansas City, following an injury watch on Mahomes earlier this year. Managing the elbow issue without missing playing time keeps the offense operating with its starting quarterback.

What to watch: The Kansas City Chiefs visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 15, with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 PM ET.
