Chad Henne finally stepped up against a team from Ohio.The former Michigan quarterback (who was 0-4 vs. Ohio State) and longtime NFL backup was called into action against the Browns under the worst of circumstances Sunday after starter Patrick Mahomes exited the game with a concu sion.Mahomes' injury, which occurred with 7:44 remaining in the third quarter, forced Henne to lead to lead the team in its bid to repeat as Super Bowl champions. He quarterbacked three drives against the Browns, completing 6 of Nick Bosa Jersey 8 pa ses for 66 yards and an interception but also rushing twice for 12 yards. That might not seem like a lot, but those miniscule stats compared to Mahomes', anyway helped Kansas City hold off a resurgent Cleveland team.MORE: Henne's first drive finished with a Harrison Butker 33-yard field goal. That wasfollowed by a bad interception Keena Turner Jersey into the end zone and, eventually, running out the clock with a 22-17 lead as the clock hit 0:00. Henne made his biggest contributionsin the final moments of the game: One play after he took a 6-yard sack at the two-minute warning, making it third-and-14 for the Chiefs from their35, he responded with two monumental plays.The first was a 13-yard scramble that made it fourth-and-inches from the Chiefs' 48.CHAD HENNE THE LEGEND Sporting News (@sportingnews) On the next play, Henne hit Tyreek Hill for a 3-yard gain, allowing Kansas City to kneel on the next play and end the game:Tony Romo lost his Dwight Clark Jersey mind after Andy Reid called a pa s on fourth and inches for the game. Sporting News (@sportingnews) Twitter, naturally, was astounded that Andy Reid and Co. would choose to go for it on fourth down near midfield, and with a backup QB,no le s. But Twitter was also quick to sing Henne's praises as he helped the Chiefs to the AFC championship game against the Bills: Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes) CHAD HENNE Mick Maine (@ColeyMick) Juju,Claypool the Steelers on their way to TikTok after the Browns lost to Chad Henne John Taylor T Shirts RD (@NorthSidePace) Chad Henne after Twitter made fun of him for his interception Stadium (@Stadium) chad Henne checking Twitter after the game be like ilAvxry (@IlAvxry) Chad Henne mastercla s cryptic (@CrypticNotAlone) (Let's get it trending!)
