Patrick Mahomes entered Sunday Night Football with 19,848 yards. It didn’t take him long to reach 20,000.

Mahomes is 16-of-27 for 160 yards and two touchdowns after one possession in the second half.

The Chiefs quarterback passed the 20,000-yard mark in his 67th career regular-season game. That makes him the fastest ever to hit that mark.

Matthew Stafford hit 20,000 passing yards in his 71st career game.

The Chiefs lead the Bucs 31-17 after getting a field goal on the opening drive of the second half.

  1. No.

    Rule changes. Goodell. Different league by comparison to others.
    _______________
    But it was Brady and the Patriots that Goodell cheated for all those years. He knew what was going on and looked the other way.

    Goodell cheats for his favorites.

  2. You either have a superstar like Mahomes or Allen, or you’re an irrelevant joke team like the last place patriots.

  3. Herbert, Allen and some of these younger guys might get a chance at that record as well. In the meantime, Mahomes is looking great. This version of him can win a super bowl. Last weeks version will be hard to win a playoff game.

  4. A lot of us were just happy to see the Chiefs win a super bowl in our lifetimes. Mahomes is putting every topping on the cake as humanly possible.

  5. He’s fantastic. Though knowing Stafford was the prior record-holder does take a little bit of the shine off. At least it’s held by an exceptional player now.

  6. Stafford got stats from being down 20 points every game. Kind of like Brady tonight. Defenses go into a shell and QB’s can have ridiculous stats, yet lose games. I bet Stafford didn’t win a 1/3 of his games in that span, whereas Pat is like 52-14 with a SB win and several playoff wins.

  7. We will see. Brady actually outplayed Pat in this game. I thought Pat would have 2 SB’s 2 years ago btw!

  8. Of course he always looks good in regular season then he’s a deer in headlights and the playoffs

  9. Of course he’s alway looked good in regular season then he’s a deer in headlights in the playoffs and his team wasn’t good enough to carry him like his fluke SB

  10. Long time Chiefs fan – after years of San Fran rejects, bad draft picks…it’s so good to hit with Mahomes.

    Feels good to watch or QB smash records and play Houdini. Laughing at the haters because:
    1) their HOF QB Is somewhere else
    2) their QB situation sux
    3) their team has lost 6 straight division titles to Mahomes

    CHIEFS KINGDOM BABY!

  11. “I think the very best part of creativity is collaborating with friends and colleagues. Admittedly, mine happen to be bears, pigs, rats, chickens, and penguins, but you go with whatever works for you.”

  12. Hebert has 10,600 yards in 36 games. He is on pace to surpass Mahomes. One of those interesting stats, but irrelevant to the quality of play and that each era has different rules. Generally, that kind of stat will belong to players from lesser quality teams.

  13. Stafford got stats from being down 20 points every game. Kind of like Brady tonight. Defenses go into a shell and QB’s can have ridiculous stats, yet lose games. I bet Stafford didn’t win a 1/3 of his games in that span, whereas Pat is like 52-14 with a SB win and several playoff wins.
    ==========

    Stafford had 4 winning seasons with the Lions, and got them to the Playoffs 3x.

    The Lions.

    I don’t even know what to compare that to? 3-peating? The Bills going to 4 Super Bowls in a row?

  14. Look at that graphic. Reid wins no matter who his QB is. Belichick not so much.
    ==========

    Belichick – 6 Titles

    Reid – 1

  15. Better than Brady by lightyears if you look at the first 5 years of each players career.

    Brady 2001 – 2005 = 123 TD Passes 66 INTs

    Mahomes 2018 – 2022 = 152 TD passes 38 INTs

    that’s only 4 games into 2022 ….. its no contest.

  16. because the game changed so much since around 2006 you can see that even Brady is way more productive even at 45 than he was when he was in those early great years. If Mahomes plays for a long time he will break all the yardage and TD records. That’s inevitable. Will be tough to get the 7 SB wins though. He had a great shot, but by Brady beating him in the AFCCG and Super Bowl Brady got to 7 instead of 5 and Patrick is still at 1. It could have easily been 5-3 and Mahomes might already be seen as the likely greatest to ever do it.

    =====

    Probably neither, since those same Lions played in 7 playoff games in the ’90s, actually winning one of them, which Stafford never did. So while there’s a lot of futility in their history, Stafford didn’t break any new ground, at all.

    ‐————-

    You keep using MY accomplishments to elevate Belichick. Reid has a winning record with guys like McNabb and Alex Smith. THAT’S coaching. Different teams, different players, like Shula, great coaching translates, coattail riding only works till the coattails come off.

  19. Stafford was on a loser squad behind two touchdowns 80% of his career. Stafford’s Lion teams were 79-112. So either the yards don’t matter or Stafford is the second best QB of all time.

  20. Brady paranoia is the greatest phenomenon I’ve ever seen.

    If he’s so great, why are you threatened by everyone else?
