Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes continues to crush NFL pace records, and the postseason is no different. - Mahomes made his tenth career postseason start against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC’s divisional round in what is just his fourth year as a starter. After throwing for three passing touchdowns against the Bills on Sunday, Mahomes now has the 25 career passing touchdowns in his first 10 playoff games. That number is good for the most career passing touchdowns by a QB through their first 10 playoff games in NFL history. He passed a Hall of Famer (Kurt Warner) and a future Hall of Famer (Drew Brees) who were both tied for the top spot through 10 playoff games with 23 touchdowns. - Our friend Jeff Kerr at CBS shared a tweet about this earlier in the week: - - Most career pass TD in first 10 playoff games — #NFL history - T1. Drew Brees — 23T1. Kurt Warner — 23T3. Patrick Mahomes — 22*T3. Dan Marino — 22 - Mahomes plays his 10th playoff game on Sunday. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/VrLDHelyro - — Jeff Kerr (@JeffKerrCBS) January 21, 2022 - - - Mahomes has also passed former Cowboys QB Troy Aikman, former Cowboys QB Roger Staubach and former Eagles QB Donovan McNabb to throw for the 13th-most postseason passing touchdowns in NFL history. He is now tied with Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco. Here’s a look at the top 16 per Pro Football Reference: - - Tom Brady: 85 - Joe Montana: 45 - Aaron Rodgers: 45 (tie) - Brett Favre: 44 - Peyton Manning: 40 - Drew Brees: 37 - Ben Roethlisberger: 36 - Dan Marino: 32 - Kurt Warner: 31 - Terry Bradshaw: 30 - John Elway: 27 - Joe Flacco: 25 - Russell Wilson: 25 (tie) - Patrick Mahomes: 25 (tie) - Donovan McNabb: 24 - Roger Staubach: 24 (tie) - - At only 26 years old, Mahomes is doing things in the postseason that we’ve never seen before. It’s taken other players their entire career to even get to the point that Mahomes is at in terms of postseason play. His career is still in its infancy and it rivals that of Hall of Fame players. It’s just another reminder of how blessed Chiefs fans are to be witnessing such a great player at the helm of their franchise. - - List - - Instant analysis of Chiefs' divisional-round win over Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
