Patrick Mahomes is four TD passes away from eclipsing Troy Aikman's career mark. The Chiefs star could top Aikman on MNF with Aikman broadcasting.
Mackenzie Salmon 'overreacts' to the biggest storylines from Week 4 in the NFL.In the annals of football history, Troy Aikman will be remembered by most as the steward of the 1990s Dallas Cowboys — one of the best teams in NFL history. However, while winning three Super Bowls, the Hall of Fame quarterback wasn’t exactly the most productive signal caller. Even in accounting for eras, Aikman only ever threw at least 20 touchdowns once in his 12-year career.
That’s a fact that might come back to make things awkward for the broadcaster when the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders duke it out on Monday night. Aikman threw for 165 touchdowns in his career. Meanwhile, the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes already has 162 touchdown passes through just over four seasons of his growing prolific career. That means if the Chiefs’ star throws for four scores against the Raiders, he will have officially eclipsed Aikman in almost 100 fewer starts — with Aikman on the call.If Patrick Mahomes throws four touchdown passes next week, he will pass Troy Aikman’s entire career total…and Aikman is calling the game for ESPN.
