Kansas City, MO – December 18, 2024
Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has solidified his legacy as one of the NFL’s all-time greats by setting a new record for the most touchdown passes in a single season. In a thrilling game against the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes threw his 56th touchdown pass of the year, breaking Peyton Manning’s 2013 record of 55.
The record-breaking play came in the third quarter, a 35-yard strike to tight end Travis Kelce, who celebrated by hoisting the ball into the Arrowhead Stadium crowd. Fans erupted in cheers as Mahomes raised his arms in triumph, acknowledging the historic moment.
“It’s surreal,” Mahomes said in a post-game interview. “I’ve grown up watching legends like Peyton, and to even be mentioned in the same breath as him is humbling. This is a testament to my teammates, coaches, and the amazing fans here in Kansas City.”
The 2024 season has been a career year for Mahomes, who has also surpassed 5,000 passing yards with two games remaining. His pinpoint accuracy and ability to extend plays have left defenses scrambling, earning him widespread praise across the league.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid lauded Mahomes’ leadership and work ethic. “Patrick’s one of a kind,” Reid said. “What he does on and off the field is incredible. He’s the engine of this team, and we’re lucky to have him.”
With the playoffs around the corner, the Chiefs (13-2) are in prime position to make another run at the Super Bowl. Fans and analysts alike are now speculating whether Mahomes can add more records to his growing résumé and cap the season with another championship ring.
As the NFL marvels at his achievements, one thing is certain: Patrick Mahomes’ dominance is
far from over.
