The Kansas City Chiefs delivered a strong statement after facing criticism at the start of the season. At Arrowhead Stadium, they dominated 37-20 against the Baltimore Ravens, with Mahomes throwing four touchdown passes, putting the Chiefs at a 2-2 record.
A key factor in the game was the return of Xavier Worthy, who had five receptions for 83 yards and two rushes for 38 yards. His performance gave a new spark to the Chiefs’ offense, which looked explosive again like it hadn’t in a while.
Mahomes’ touchdown passes went to four different players: JuJu Smith-Schuster, Isiah Pacheco, Tyquan Thornton, and Hollywood Brown. On defense, the Chiefs constantly pressured Lamar Jackson, intercepting him once and eventually forcing him to leave the game due to a muscle injury.
Pat McAfee sent a message to Patrick Mahomes about his new record
It was an amazing day for Mahomes. Beyond the victory-which was the most important-the quarterback reached 250 career touchdown passes, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to do so, achieving it in 116 games. The previous record-holder, Aaron Rodgers, reached it in 121 games.
This milestone sparked widespread discussion on social media. The outspoken Pat McAfee commented on X (that this achievement will fuel the debate over who is the GOAT: “A stat that’ll be used during the debate later in life”.

Mahomes already has three Super Bowl rings and still has a long career ahead in the NFL. However, this league is tough, and it remains to be seen if he will eventually match the Texas Tech product in the quest to reach the legendary status of Brady.
The historic touchdown pass was Mahomes’ second of the afternoon against the Ravens: an 8-yard throw to Isiah Pacheco in the second quarter. The Chiefs are showing signs of life, and in the next Monday Night Football, they will face the Jacksonville Jaguars.
