Mahomes entered the game against the Baltimore Ravens (27-20) with 28,424 passing yards in the regular season and needed just 84 yards to break Dawson’s record, which he accomplished with a precise 23-yard pass to Travis Kelce in the second quarter. Len Dawson, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, played 14 seasons for the Chiefs from 1962 to 1975.

In the footsteps of a legend

With this performance, Mahomes cements his status as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Fans in Kansas City can look forward to seeing what other records he will break in the coming years. The path continues to look promising for Mahomes and the Chiefs.
