Patrick Mahomes accidentally injured his Chiefs teammate, leaving him extremely upset and unable to calm down.

Patrick Mahomes may have made two big mistakes on the same play, which resulted in rising star Rashee Rice getting hurt. He had to be taken off the field on a cart, and it looks like he suffered a serious leg injury.

Patrick Mahomes threw an interception and accidentally injured his top receiver, Rashee Rice, on the same play.

After Mahomes threw an interception to Los Angeles Chargers safety Kristian Fulton, he tried to tackle the ball carrier but ended up landing on Rice. Rice had punched the ball out of Fulton’s hands, but Mahomes’ tackle attempt hit Rice’s right leg, causing a serious injury.

Rice had to leave the field on a cart, clearly hurt. He was very upset, with a towel over his head, as he was taken to the locker room for tests to check how bad the injury was.

Rice has been the Chiefs’ top receiver this season, ranking fourth in the NFL with 288 yards and two touchdowns.

Mahomes immediately knew he had made a mistake and watched as medical staff helped Rice, who was struggling to get up from the field.

With Travis Kelce not performing as well this season, Rice has become Mahomes’ main target on offense.

It looks like the Chiefs will need Travis Kelce more than ever this season, especially if Rashee Rice’s injury turns out to be as serious as it seemed on the field.

Rice isn’t the only receiver the Chiefs have lost this week. Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is out for the entire season without even playing a game due to a shoulder injury he got during preseason.

The Chiefs also drafted a receiver, Xavier Worthy, in the first round this year, but they’ve had trouble getting him the ball consistently since his strong debut where he scored two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens.

Now, head coach Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are anxiously waiting for the results of Rice’s scans as they find themselves trailing the Chargers in the first half.

Lassie’s little Timmy reveals the secrets of TV’s most famous dog

For nearly two decades most of us can remember tuning in to see the latest adventures of the most famous dog on TV – Lassie.

This much-loved Rough Collie dog and her human companions graced our screens for 17 seasons from 1954 to 1973 and even made the transition from black and white to color in the ’60s.

But who could forget the adorable little boy who joined the show in its fourth season when he and his family adopted Lassie – 7-year-old Timmy Martin.

Now Jon Provost, who played Timmy, has celebrated his 74th birthday and shares the joy he had filming with his four-legged friend and how he was discovered by Hollywood at just 3 years old.

The Los Angeles-born actor said when he was 3 years old he was taken to an audition for a Jane Wyman movie because his mom was a huge fan and hoped to get her autograph. But, out of the 200 kids auditioning for the part, Jon got it.

It was far from evident that Jon would become an actor. His father worked with something completely different – he was an aeronautical engineer.

”My parents weren’t Hollywood people. My father is from Alabama and my mother is from Texas,” Jon said.

At age 4, he landed a role in a Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby movie.

“I didn’t have an agent. I got one and that led to more movies like The Country Girl with Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly. I did about 12 movies before I started ‘Lassie’”, he told Fox News.

Three different Lassies

Recalling the bonds he formed with the three different male dogs that played the part of the female Lassie, Jon said he developed the biggest bond with the last dog to play Lassie.

“I did the show for seven years, 249 half-hour episodes. I worked with three different Lassies. The last dog I worked with, I worked with him for five years alone,” he told Fox News.

“We grew up together. For five years, we saw each other five days a week and sometimes on weekends.

Revealing how well behaved the dog was he added: “The actors made more mistakes than the dog. They were more of a problem,” he laughed.

After leaving the show at 14 years old he starred alongside the likes of Natalie Wood and Kurt Russell and never fell into the Hollywood child actor trap saying: “My parents let me pretty much do what I wanted to do. I didn’t have to take a job.

“When I left Hollywood, I thought it was good that I did.”

Today Jon lives out of the limelight in Northern California but still gets fan mail from his time in “Lassie”. In 1994, the actor received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Meanwhile, Lassie, the canine character, became so popular that she even had a “Lassie” riveting radio series.

Jon Provost wife

In 1979, Jon Provost tied the knot with Sandy Goosens. Together, they had two children, Ryan and Katie.

After being married for 14 years, the two divorced on December 20, 1993.

In 1999, Jon Provost found love again when he married Laurie Jacobson, a well-known researcher, and author.

I was such a fan of the adventures this sweet duo got up to. And with a moral to every episode, it was the perfect show for kids.

Please share with all the “Lassie” fans you know.
