In Chiefs’ loss, Patrick Mahomes passed Hall of Famer on two career statistical lists
Despite throwing what he called a “dumb interception” Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had another great game.
Mahomes completed 24 of 31 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns. That effort helped him pass Hall of Famer Sid Luckman on two different career statistical lists.
Each week during the 2021 season I plan to take a look at where Mahomes stands on the NFL’s all-time statistical leader board. The NFL statistics are from Pro Football Reference.
Here is a look at who Mahomes moved past, including Luckman, who played for the Chicago Bears from 1939-50.
