Patrick Mahomes made history on Sunday against the Raiders by reaching 30,000 passing yards, and he says the KC Chiefs put him in a terrific position to do it.
quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn't been putting up eye-popping numbers. In the club's Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, however, he got right back to making NFL history with his play., Mahomes became the fastest player to reach 30,000 passing yards in his career. The two-time NFL MVP passed Los Angeles Rams star Matthew Stafford, who took 109 games to get there. Mahomes needed just 103.
"I didn't even know about that until after the game and them telling me," Mahomes said. "Obviously an amazing accomplishment. It speaks to the organization I'm in. It speaks to the people I have around me, the coaches I have around me and the players. It takes everybody. I think just being able to execute and get to that milestone is awesome, but we have a lot more to do. We've had a great start to the season, and we want to keep building on that.
After Week 8, Mahomes's career average in passing yards per game is a very healthy 292. That not only tops Stafford's 271 mark and ranks first among all active players, but it's the highest figure in league history. New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees ranks second at 280; the gap between him and Mahomes is the same distance as the one between Brees and seventh-place Matt Ryan.
