Patrick Mahomes’ brilliance in the playoffs is well documented, and as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, his resume in elimination games stands along among other contenders around the NFL.
FS1 pundit Nick Wright broke down Mahomes’ playoff track record on Twitter ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, noting that the reigning MVP has more wins than the rest of the field combined.

While this doesn’t guarantee that Kansas City will find success in the playoffs this season, the comparison of Mahomes to his contemporaries is striking. Few players in NFL history are as accomplished as the Chiefs’ signal caller, and in just his sixth year as Kansas City’s starting quarterback, Mahomes stands alone as the league’s preeminent passer.
His chances of securing the Chiefs a top seed in the AFC playoffs will be given a boost if he can propel Kansas City to victory against the Eagles tonight.
