Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ TD to Xavier Worthy was a career best in one regard
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made his 100th career start Sunday against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, and he already has set a bevy of NFL records.
Mahomes turned 29 earlier this month, but he showed Sunday that he can still sling it.
In the second quarter, Mahomes threw a dime to rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who showed off that blazing speed that helped him set an NFL Combine record in the 40-yard dash.
Check out this 54-yard touchdown pass.
And while Mahomes already has all those NFL records, he set a new personal mark with that throw.
This is from the NFL’s Next Gen Stats: “Patrick Mahomes’ 54-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy traveled 62.2 yards in the air, Mahomes’ longest completion by air distance of his career.”
Next Gen Stats said Worthy reached a top speed of 21.46 mph, which is incredible.
