In a hard-fought game played under the lights of 'Sunday Night Football' at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Atlanta Falcons lost by a meager score of 22-17 to the Kansas City Chiefs, who remained unbeaten this season. Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' quarterback, fulfilled expectations by completing 26 of his 39 passes for an aggregate of 217 yards.
During the game, he threw for two touchdowns and an interception, giving him a passer rating of 87.2, which is relatively modest for his standards. For 16 minutes, from the late second quarter into the fourth, he made sure that the opponents scored no points and that Mahomes led another scoring drive of 16 points, earning Kansas City their third win in a row.
Mahomes Sets NFL Record
This game was not about getting another win; it was personal for Mahomes. By bringing his team over the line, he moved ahead of the legendary NFL quarterbacks of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady, and Dallas Cowboys, Roger Staubach, for the most wins by a quarterback in the first 100 games.
So far, Mahomes has 77 wins after 100 games, which has never been done in the history of the NFL, as both Brady and Staubach had 76 wins in their first 100 games. Looking ahead to next week, when Mahomes faces the Los Angeles Chargers for his 100th professional appearance, it isn’t easy to believe that his career stats are still brilliant.
Those figures show 29,083 yards with 224 passing touchdowns and six Pro Bowl participation; he has gone past Brady and Staubach by the same time in their careers. Like Brady, Mahomes has two NFL MVPs and won three Super Bowls as his team's starting quarterback within the first 100 games of his career.
Mahomes' progression further differentiates him as not just a quarterback who can win more games than more but one who is changing the meaning of quarterback in the National Football League. The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing for their next game, and it is already clear that the central character of their upcoming endeavors is Mahomes, whose achievements speak for themselves and allow us to hope that his name will be carved in football history forever.
