Another week and another piece of NFL history owned by Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
With three touchdown passes against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Mahomes has become the fastest player in NFL history to reach 100 passing touchdowns. He passes the previous record-holder, Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino, who hit the 100 passing touchdown mark in 44 career games. It took Mahomes just 40 career games to hit 100 passing touchdown mark. It’s all the more impressive when you consider that Mahomes has three career games where he didn’t throw a single touchdown pass, including the first game start of his career back in 2017.
That TD pass is Mahomes’ 3rd of the day, his 24th of the season and the 100th of his career. He becomes the fastest QB in NFL history to reach 100 career TD passes, accomplishing the feat in 40 career games. He tops the previous mark of 44 games (PFHOF Dan Marino).

Mahomes continues to trample a number of historic NFL records this season. Earlier in the year became the quickest QB to reach 10,000 career passing yards. That record was also held by Marino.
Last week, Mahomes became the first quarterback to ever throw for at least 20 touchdown passes and one interception through the first eight games to start a season. It’s not exactly a historic record, but it shows just how tremendous Mahomes has been in his third year as a starter.
A season ago, Mahomes helped lead Kansas City to their first Super Bowl title in 50 seasons becoming the youngest player ever to win a Super Bowl MVP Award. The year prior he won the league MVP in a stunning fashion. The growing list of achievements for the Chiefs’ young QB is nothing short of remarkable and the craziest part of it is that he’s still just 25 years old. He hasn’t even reached the prime of his career yet and we’ll still get to watch that greatness unfold in Kansas City.
