Let’s dive into 10 of his most mind-blowing records, spanning his meteoric rise from rookie phenom to Super Bowl king.
10. Fastest to 10 Career Playoff Wins
Mahomes needed just 13 playoff starts to notch 10 career playoff victories. That’s tied for the fastest mark in NFL history, proving he’s not just a regular-season phenom but a postseason powerhouse.
9. Most Total Yards in a Season
In the 2022 season, Mahomes set the record for most total yards (passing and rushing) in a single season, amassing 5,614 yards. That’s not just numbers on a stat sheet—it’s a testament to his versatility and relentless drive.
8. Winning Record When Trailing by Double Digits
Here’s something unprecedented: Mahomes is the only quarterback in NFL history with a winning record when trailing by 10 or more points, including playoffs. Most teams crumble under that kind of pressure; Mahomes thrives on it.
7. Three-Time Super Bowl MVP
Mahomes doesn’t just make it to the Super Bowl—he owns the spotlight when he gets there. With three Super Bowl MVP awards to his name, he’s cemented himself as one of the greatest big-game performers of all time.
6. Youngest Quarterback to Win Super Bowl MVP
At just 24 years old, Mahomes became the youngest quarterback ever to win Super Bowl MVP honors. His performance in Super Bowl LIV was a rollercoaster of comebacks, culminating in a 31-20 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It was like watching a magician pull victory out of his helmet.
5. Most Total Touchdowns in a Single Playoff Game
In that same epic matchup against the Texans, Mahomes accounted for five total touchdowns: four through the air and one on the ground. He wasn’t just playing football; he was orchestrating a masterpiece.
4. Most Passing Yards in a Playoff Game for the Chiefs
When the stakes are highest, Mahomes delivers. In the 2019 AFC Divisional Round against the Houston Texans, he racked up 358 passing yards, setting a franchise playoff record. Oh, and he led the Chiefs back from a 24-point deficit—no big deal.
3. 50 Touchdowns in a Single Season

In 2018, Mahomes lit up the league with an insane 5,250 passing yards. That’s not just a Chiefs franchise record—it’s a masterpiece of offensive dominance. Watching him that season was like witnessing a cheat code come to life.
1. Fastest to 25,000 Passing Yards
Mahomes hit 25,000 career passing yards faster than anyone in NFL history. He accomplished this feat in just 83 games, smashing the previous record of 90 games held by Matthew Stafford. Think about that: 25,000 yards in less time than it takes some quarterbacks to figure out their playbook.
