This Sunday, Patrick Mahomes will achieve something only a few other quarterbacks in NFL history have done with such success – starting in his 100th career regular season game. When Mahomes steps out onto the field to play the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, another milestone is added to one of the finest starts to an NFL career.
Mahomes already has 77 wins in his first 99 games, which are more wins than Tom Brady and Roger Staubach who each had 76 wins in their first 100 starts. Another win this Sunday would take his record to 78. However, the success of Mahomes does not end with winning games. He currently holds the record for most passing yards through 100 games (29,083), surpassing Matthew Stafford with 27,890 and Dan Marino with 27,064.
Patrick Mahomes: The Record-Breaking Journey to 100 Starts
For passing touchdowns, Mahomes stands alone with 224 touchdown passes which is beyond Marino’s historical 217 before even reaching 100 games. This is already quite incredible and sets him apart and often rewrites the benchmark of what it means to quarterback in the NFL.
The Denver Broncos have suffered his wrath most often: Mahomes has beaten them in 12 of the 99 games, being a divisional rival. At the same time, Derek Carr is the quarterback who has played against him more times than anyone else and has lost eight of those meetings.
Whether it’s his 446 yards in his 25th career game, Patrick Mahomes has proved himself time after time that he is perhaps one of the most talented quarterbacks that has ever played the game in the NFL. Mahomes is already making his own history, as he gears up for game number 100 with a winning record this season (3-0) in Kansas City and a third Super Bowl Ring last year. Mahomes is making a statement that he’s not just chasing history- he’s making it.
