Patrick Mahomes Sets Chiefs’ Franchise Record with Touchdown Pass vs. Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has added yet another monumental achievement to his already storied career, setting a new franchise record for touchdown passes. On Friday, Mahomes surpassed the legendary Len Dawson, throwing his 238th touchdown pass against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Chiefs Communications. This incredible feat further solidifies Mahomes’ legacy as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game and places him squarely on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

Mahomes Breaks Chiefs’ All-Time Touchdown Record

With his latest touchdown pass, Mahomes now holds the Kansas City Chiefs’ all-time record for touchdown passes, a position once occupied by the iconic Len Dawson, who led the team to a Super Bowl victory in 1970. This milestone is just the latest chapter in Mahomes’ incredible career, which continues to break records and deliver spectacular performances. As the Chiefs lead the Raiders 10-3 during this game, Mahomes’ latest accomplishment is another reason for fans to celebrate his place in franchise history.

Mahomes’ Hall of Fame Trajectory

At only 29 years old, Mahomes is already considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. His list of accolades is extensive, having already won three Super Bowl championships and two MVP awards. As of the 2024 season, Mahomes has thrown for 2,673 yards and 18 touchdowns through 11 games. Despite critics suggesting he is having a “down year,” Mahomes has recorded the highest completion percentage of his career at 69.8%, proving that even in what some consider a “down year,” he remains one of the league’s most efficient and dangerous quarterbacks.

The Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl Hopes

With a 10-3 lead over the Raiders, the Chiefs are poised to improve their record to 11-1 on the season. Despite some uncertainty, they are still very much in the hunt for a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Mahomes’ leadership has placed the Chiefs in a position where championship expectations are the norm, and with him under center, their quest for another title seems very much within reach.

As the team looks to finish the season strong, securing the No. 1 seed in the AFC will be critical, especially with the Buffalo Bills (9-2) lurking. The Chiefs will need to maintain their high level of play to fend off competition, and Mahomes will continue to lead the charge.

Mahomes Continues to Set Records

As Mahomes approaches the 30-year mark, it’s clear that his career is far from over. With 238 touchdowns now under his belt, there will no doubt be more records set and broken in the years to come. Mahomes’ ability to perform at an elite level year after year places him among the all-time greats, and if his trajectory continues, he could be one of the most decorated quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen.

Conclusion: A Legendary Career in the Making

Patrick Mahomes’ new franchise touchdown record is just another feather in the cap of one of the most dominant quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen. With multiple Super Bowls, MVPs, and a promising future ahead, there’s no doubt that Mahomes is on a Hall of Fame trajectory. As he continues to set records and lead the Kansas City Chiefs toward more championships, his place in NFL history is solidified — and he’s not even 30 yet.
