In the realm of NFL playoff history, Patrick Mahomes stands alone, etching his name in the history books of football greatness.
With the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent victory against the Buffalo Bills, Mahomes achieved an unprecedented feat, securing his fifth consecutive year with two or more playoff victories, a record that places him at the pinnacle of postseason excellence.
Not even NFL greats match up against Patrick Mahomes
While Mahomes may be on a quest to match Tom Brady’s championship record, he has already surpassed the legendary quarterback in a remarkable category.
The significance of this accomplishment is highlighted by the fact that esteemed quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Brett Favre, and Bart Starr only achieved two or more playoff wins in three consecutive postseasons during their illustrious careers.
This record-breaking success is a testament to Mahomes’ exceptional prowess as a professional athlete.
In the Chiefs’ recent win over the Bills, Mahomes added another feather to his cap by becoming the quarterback with the most playoff victories before the age of 30.
Mahomes, an NFL playoffs savant
In just six seasons as a starter, Mahomes has also reached the AFC Championship Game every single year.
As he vies for his fourth appearance in the Super Bowl, Mahomes has already claimed two championships, two Super Bowl MVP awards, and two regular-season MVP honors.
A notable aspect of Mahomes’ postseason dominance is his exceptional performance against specific opponents.
The unfortunate Buffalo Bills have faced elimination at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs in three of the past four seasons, underscoring Mahomes’ ability to shine when it matters most.
In 16 postseason games, Mahomes boasts a remarkable 13-3 record, throwing for 4,561 passing yards, 38 touchdown passes, and a mere seven interceptions.
These stats not only rival but surpass his career regular-season numbers, solidifying Mahomes’ status as a postseason maestro.
As Mahomes gears up for the AFC Championship Game against the Baltimore Ravens, football fans are eagerly anticipating another chapter in the quarterback’s extraordinary journey.
Facing a formidable opponent, Mahomes acknowledges next Sunday’s challenge against Lamar Jackson’s team, stating, “There’s no weakness there. It’s going to take our best effort. Defense, offense, special teams, they do it all. It’s always a great challenge, and that stadium is going to be rocking, so we’re excited for the challenge.”
