Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes continues to move up the franchise leaderboards at a record pace.
Last season, Mahomes passed former Chiefs QB Bill Kenney for the third-most passing touchdowns in franchise history. Today, with two touchdown passes against the Baltimore Ravens, Mahomes passed former Chiefs QB Trent Green for second place in the same stat. He now has sole possession of the second-most passing touchdowns in franchise history.
Here’s a look at the new top 5 franchise leaders in passing touchdowns for Kansas City:
- Len Dawson: 237 TDs in 157 games played.
- Patrick Mahomes: 119 TDs (and counting) in 48 games played.
- Trent Green: 118 TDs in 88 games played.
- Bill Kenney: 105 TDs in 77 games played.
- Alex Smith: 102 TDs in 76 games played.
The craziest thing about all of this is that it has taken Mahomes just 48 games to reach 118 passing touchdowns. It took every one of these quarterbacks nearly double that amount of games to earn their spots on this list. He’s basically lapping every quarterback in franchise history.
Next up, the Chiefs’ record for passing touchdowns by a quarterback, owned by the great Lenny Dawson. He’s still a while away from reaching that record, but rest assured it’s coming. If Mahomes keeps up his current pace, he’ll have a chance to own the Chiefs’ franchise record for passing touchdowns before he makes his 100th start for the team.
Hold onto your pants, Chiefs Kingdom. Mahomes looks poised to continue doing some things that we never could have imagined in our wildest dreams.
