Patrick Mahomes set another record. It is guaranteed not to be the last he will hold.

The Chiefs quarterback completed a 13-yard pass to Travis Kelce on the team’s first possession. It put him over 7,500 yards for his career.

Mahomes reached the 7,500-yard mark in only 24 games.

The NFL’s previous record-holder, Kurt Warner, did it in 27 games.

The Chiefs scored a touchdown on a 21-yard pass from Mahomes to Mecole Hardman with 4:10 remaining in the first quarter. The extra point gave them an early 7-6 lead.

Mahomes went 5-for-5 for 47 yards and a touchdown on the first drive. He was 1-for-2 for 6 yards on their second, as the Chiefs settled for a field goal, increasing their lead to 10-6.
