The impressive statistics that place Patrick Mahomes on the verge of surpassing Tom Brady

The incredible stats that have Mahomes on cusp of surpassing Brady

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes appears poised to break Tom Brady’s records. In the recent divisional round victory against the Buffalo Bills, the 28-year-old surpassed Brady for the most playoff wins by a quarterback (13) before reaching the age of 30, as reported by CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated notes that if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, Mahomes will rank third in postseason wins, trailing only Brady and Hall of Famer Joe Montana.

Mahomes has demonstrated remarkable early-career success, outpacing Brady through his first seven seasons with more passing yards (28,424), passing touchdowns (219), and a superior passer rating (103.5).

While Mahomes is still in the early stages of his career, his two-time league MVP accolades suggest a future Hall of Fame trajectory, potentially surpassing Brady as the greatest quarterback of all time. Even Brady himself acknowledged Mahomes as the standout player who could match or surpass his achievements.

“I mean, I think when I’m looking at guys in pro football, Patrick is the one that really stands out,” Brady commented on his “Let’s Go!” podcast. “They’ve done a great job since he’s really taken over.”

Brady, with 23 seasons split between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots, secured seven Super Bowl victories, setting an NFL record. Achieving this level of longevity and success will be a significant challenge for Mahomes.

Nevertheless, Mahomes is setting a historic pace and is well-positioned to secure his third Lombardi Trophy. Facing the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, the Chiefs are listed as 3.5-point underdogs according to ESPN. Despite the odds, Mahomes’ exceptional play makes an upset entirely possible. In the current postseason, he ranks third in passing yards (477) and is tied for fourth in passing touchdowns (three). The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the Patriots in 2004.
