Yesterday, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the youngest player in NFL history at 30 years and 11 days to reach 250 career passing touchdowns, doing so in a record-breaking 116 games during a 37-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Mahomes hit the milestone with a second-quarter touchdown pass to Isaiah Pacheco, helping secure a 20-10 halftime lead. He finished the game with four touchdowns, boosting the Chiefs to a 2-2 record. His 116-game pace surpassed Aaron Rodgers’ previous record of 121 games.
Drafted 10th overall in 2017, Mahomes has redefined the quarterback position with his dynamic playstyle, earning three Super Bowl MVPs, two league MVPs, and three Super Bowl rings. His efficiency—averaging over two touchdowns per game—puts him on track to challenge all-time records like Tom Brady’s 649 passing touchdowns.
As Mahomes enters his prime, his trajectory suggests more records will fall.
He also recorded his 18th career regular-season game with 4+ touchdown passes, moving into sole possession of the seventh-most such games in NFL history.
