Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has earned many accolades throughout his career and crossed more milestones off the list in Week 4.
After his 245 passing yards in last Sunday’s 17-10 win over the Chargers, Mahomes passed Drew Bledsoe to move into ninth place for most passing yards in a player’s first eight seasons in the NFL with 29,328 in 100 career games. Despite only being in his seventh year as a full-time starter, Mahomes has already eclipsed multiple quarterbacks in this category.
In his press conference following Sunday’s victory over the Chargers, Mahomes briefly commented on completing his 100th game in the NFL.
“It’s cool because I know how it is in the NFL,” said Mahomes. “We’ve been blessed to play in a lot of games, a lot of big games, and win a couple of Super Bowls here. But at the end of the day, you don’t take it for granted, man. I mean, you’re on a platform that you dreamed of as a little kid. And I think I (will) try to enjoy those moments and have 100 games in. I’m going to enjoy this moment, and we’re going to move on. That’s how the NFL works.”
After one touchdown pass in Sunday’s game, Mahomes has 225 career touchdown passes in his first eight seasons, ranking fourth in NFL history. He trails Russell Wilson by two touchdown tosses to break into the top three.
