KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes seemed to make a clear statement that his injured ankle isn't much of a problem.
On the Kansas City Chiefs' first drive in Saturday's game against the Houston Texans, Mahomes scrambled 15 yards for a touchdown to give his team a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. He also scrambled for 12 yards earlier in the drive.

Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. He was pulled from the game for good in the fourth quarter but he was a full practice participant during the week.
