Patrick Mahomes has redefined the quarterback position since he became the full-time starting quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. Not only has Mahomes rewritten the record books, but the Chiefs have won a lot of games in the process.
Kansas City has never missed an AFC Championship game in the four years Mahomes has started, winning two of them and capturing Super Bowl LIV. Mahomes was the youngest quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP, the youngest quarterback to win league MVP since Dan Marino in 1984 (at the time he won the award), and he already holds 11 NFL records in his five full seasons as starter.
Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals is a significant milestone for Mahomes, as he’ll make his 75th career start in the league. Mahomes already holds all the significant records for a quarterback entering his 75th career start, obliterating every one of the previous marks.
This week’s “By the Numbers” takes a look at Mahomes through 75 career starts (which he hasn’t made yet) and how he’s rewriting the league history books in the process. We’ll also take a look at Mahomes’ 2022 season and how he’s on pace to set several NFL records in another MVP campaign.
