It's been an up-and-down season for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Their play has been consistently inconsistent, as teams are slowly figuring out how to shut down their offense. Despite their struggles, though, their star quarterback is still good for some Mahomes magic when the team needs him to.
In the Chiefs' Week 10 tilt against the Las Vegas Raiders, Mahomes further cemented his legacy, as he eclipsed a certain legendary quarterback with his masterful performance. (via NFL Research)
“Patrick Mahomes has recorded his 30th career game with 300+ pass yards, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Kurt Warner for most such games in a player's first 5 seasons in NFL history.”

Mahomes reached the 300-yard mark late in the third quarter. This is Mahomes' 30th career game where he threw for more than 300-yard. With this game, he broke a tie with Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner for most 300+ passing yard games in their first five seasons in the league. It's a testament to the Chiefs quarterback's talent that he was able to reach this mark.
Patrick Mahomes has been under fire recently, as fans point to his turnover-prone game as one of the reasons the Chiefs have been struggling. Mahomes vehemently defended his playing style, saying:
“I mean, I’m gonna take shots,” Mahomes said. “The last few years I’ve take those shots, and they’ve worked. I’ve taken those shots, and they haven’t worked (as well this season), and we’ve still been able to find ways to score points. Whenever I’ve got a guy with a chance to make a play downfield, I’m going to give him a chance to make a play.”
This game just goes to show that Chiefs fans just had to trust Mahomes to get back to his form. Hopefully, this game becomes the catalyst for Kansas City to regain their footing.
