In a thrilling Thursday night showdown, the Kansas City Chiefs have taken control of the game and quarterback Patrick Mahomes has etched his name into the franchise history books.
On their latest offensive drive, Mahomes surpassed the legendary Len Dawson to become the all-time leader in passing yards for the Chiefs. Dawson’s previous mark of 28,507 yards had stood for decades, but Mahomes has now eclipsed that total and is continuing to add to it.
As of now, Mahomes has completed 9 of his 13 pass attempts for 117 yards, bringing his career total to 28,541 yards and counting. The young superstar is making waves in the NFL and is showing why he is considered one of the top quarterbacks in the league.
“It’s a great honor to break Len Dawson’s record,” Mahomes said after the game. “He is a Hall of Famer and a true legend in Kansas City. I’m grateful for the opportunity to play for this team and to have the support of Chiefs Kingdom behind me.”
The Chiefs currently hold a 13-7 lead over the Baltimore Ravens with just under 6 minutes left in the second quarter. However, Kansas City has missed out on some opportunities to extend their lead even further.
Baltimore’s defense has stepped up in the red zone, forcing the Chiefs to settle for field goals on their last two possessions. Despite a strip-sack by Chris Jones and a near touchdown pass to rookie Xavier Worthy, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense have been unable to capitalize fully on their scoring chances.
With Mahomes breaking records and leading the Chiefs to victory, fans in Kansas City are buzzing with excitement. It’s clear that the young quarterback has a bright future ahead of him, and he is just getting started in his quest for greatness in the NFL.
