Patrick Mahomes becomes the first NFL QB to conquer all 31 teams before 30
After kicking off the season with an upset loss, the defending Super Bowl champion team soon bounced back with four back-to-back wins in their next contests. Meanwhile, their most recent battle against the Minnesota Vikings in a Week 5 game came as a pair of blessings for Patrick Mahomes.
For Pat, the Vikings were the only undefeated team since the Chiefs’ starter was hurt the one other time they met the Vikings in his career. In the meantime, the two-time MVP entered an elite group after the win as one of just 10 quarterbacks in NFL history to defeat 31 teams in his career, as he has now defeated every team aside from his own.
In addition, the 28-year-old quarterback has written his name into NFL history books with Sunday’s victory in Minnesota, turning into the first quarterback to accomplish an NFL record before turning 30. The achievement demonstrates his amazing capacity to continuously outperform every NFL organization.
Reportedly, Kirk Cousins of the Vikings also defeated 30 other opponents. The quarterback still hasn’t been able to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals and the Chiefs, but he missed a chance to make it 31 against the Chiefs. Kirk’s ability to defeat both teams he has played for is particularly intriguing; he defeated Minnesota while playing for Washington and defeated Washington while playing for Minnesota.
Who is the youngest QB to win a Super Bowl MVP?
Before Patrick Mahomes stepped into the NFL world, recently retired player Tom Brady was the youngest QB to win a Super Bowl MVP. The seven-time Super Bowl winner was 24 when he won his first Super Bowl MVP back in 2002.
As Brady’s reign was about to end, Mahmoes quickly seized Brady’s title as the youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl MVP, winning the award after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in 2019.
Meanwhile, at such a young age, Pat again was able to name himself as the two MVP winners after the Chiefs’ victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. By reaching the milestone, he became the 13th starting quarterback to win multiple Super Bowls.
In addition, he made history by being the first player since Kurt Warner in 1999 to earn both awards in the same season by winning two MVP awards during his two Super Bowl-winning seasons.
As Mahomes continues to influence the future of the sport, NFL fans from all over the world will definitely be paying careful attention to see what other historic milestones he might accomplish.
