Here's a fantastic (free) article from The Ringer about the greatness of Mahomes. It's long, but it has some amazing statistics about his career to date. Here are a few:

- Mahomes threw for 240-plus yards in each of his first 25 games, tying the longest such streak in NFL history for a quarterback at any point in his career.
- In five seasons as a starter, his lowest season-long completion percentage is 65.9 percent; his fewest TDs thrown is 26; his career high in interceptions is 13; his career high in sacks is 28; his career low in rushing yards is 218. Without even mentioning Mahomes’s best statistical category—he has thrown over 4,000 yards in all five of his years as a starter—we can put those numbers together as a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of the worst parts of Mahomes’s career: 65.9 percent completion percentage, 218 rushing yards, 26 TDs, 13 interceptions, 28 sacks. Here is a list of every quarterback in NFL history who had even one season that matched or bested the combined worst performances of Mahomes’s career:
- Lamar Jackson (2019)
- Josh Allen (2020)
- Kyler Murray (2020)
- If you throw in the Chiefs’ loss to the Bucs in Super Bowl LV, of the 91 NFL games Mahomes has played in, he has lost just three of them by more than one score.
