This is yet another impressive feat for Mahomes, who is unquestionably on a Hall of Fame trajectory.
The Chiefs lead the Raiders 10-3 as of this story's writing.
Patrick Mahomes on Hall of Fame trajectory
The Chiefs are looking to improve to 11-1 in 2024 with a victory over the 2-9 Raiders on Friday. Sure, the Chiefs have some uncertainty but they appear to be a Super Bowl contender once again.
Mahomes has enjoyed a tremendous career up to this point. At only 29 years old, he is already a three-time Super Bowl champion. He has also won the MVP twice in his career. Through 11 games played in 2024, so not including Friday's game, Mahomes has thrown for 2,673 yards and 18 touchdowns. Some have said that Mahomes is having a down year, but he has recorded the highest completion percentage of his career with a mark of 69.8 percent.
Patrick Mahomes' primary focus is on leading the Chiefs to a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Kansas City is getting to a point where they expect to win championships. With Mahomes leading the way, there is no reason to doubt the Chiefs.
For now, the Chiefs will focus on their current game against the Raiders. Kansas City is looking to finish the season strong in hopes of clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Buffalo Bills, who are 9-2, could make things interesting, so the Chiefs need to continue to play at a high level.
Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, will surely set no shortage of other records throughout his NFL career. He is already one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time and he is not even 30 years old yet.
