Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes already has a resume that ranks him among the best playoff quarterbacks in NFL history. Now he’ll look to build on that resume Saturday against the Texans.
Here’s where Mahomes ranks in some of the most important playoff quarterback categories in the NFL:
He wins with the starting quarterback: The Chiefs have won 15 postseason games with Mahomes as their starting quarterback. If they win Saturday, Mahomes will tie Joe Montana for the second most playoff wins by a starting quarterback in NFL history. Tom Brady holds the record with 35 postseason wins.
Passer rating: Mahomes’ 105.8 passer rating in the playoffs is second-best ever among quarterbacks with at least 150 career postseason pass attempts. Baker Mayfield is the record holder with 105.9.
Adding a touchdown: Mahomes threw 41 touchdowns in the playoffs, fifth all-time. If he throws three more, he’ll tie Brett Favre for fourth. Joe Montana and Aaron Rodgers are tied for second with 45. Tom Brady has the record with 88.
Passing yards: Mahomes has 5,135 passing yards in the playoffs, good for No. 8 all-time, and if he throws for 232 yards against the Texans, he’ll pass Drew Brees for 7th all-time. Tom Brady’s record of 13,400 career passing yards has been safe for many years.
Passes completed: Mahomes has 456 completions, which is No. 8 all-time. He almost certainly will pass No. 7 Joe Montana (460) on Saturday and then set his sights on No. 5, a tie between Drew Brees and Brett Favre at 481. Tom Brady’s record is 1,200 playoff completions.
