Mahomes eyes history on Sunday Night Football as he closes in on 300 career touchdowns vs. Lions
Mahomes Nears Historic 300-TD Milestone Under the Lights
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is closing in on a major career landmark: his 300th touchdown pass. If he hits the mark this Sunday night, he’ll become the fastest player in NFL history to do so, passing Aaron Rodgers for the record.
Mahomes’ Recent Form
Last week against the Los Angeles Rams, Mahomes lit up the field, throwing for 478 yards and six touchdowns while completing 33 of 46 attempts—despite three interceptions. It was another reminder of why he’s considered among the league’s elite.
Heading into the Lions matchup, he’s riding the momentum of a strong outing where he connected on 29 of 41 throws (70.7%), racking up 318 yards, a touchdown, plus 60 rushing yards and a score on the ground.
Spotlight on Sunday Night Football
The Chiefs (2–3) welcome the 4–1 Lions to Arrowhead Stadium in prime time on NBC at 7:20 p.m. CT. Kansas City is trying to steady itself after a slow start, while Detroit looks like one of the NFC’s rising powers.
At home, Mahomes has been especially sharp—avoiding picks in six of his last seven games at Arrowhead. He’s also nearly unbeatable on Sunday nights, carrying a 9–1 record in his last 10 appearances under the lights.
Chasing the Mark
Mahomes currently sits at 299 career touchdowns, counting the playoffs. If he throws one this Sunday, it will not only cement his 300th but also crown him the quickest to ever reach the milestone—likely in just 147 games.
With history within reach, Arrowhead is set for a high-stakes, electric showdown as fans wait to see if Mahomes can once again rise to the moment.
