It was their third straight game facing a 10+ point deficit. With just over 7 minutes to play, a successful 49ers challenge of a completed catch left the Chiefs facing 3rd and 15 on their own 35-yard-line. Mahomes asked his coaching staff to call the play Jet Chip Wasp, and successfully completed a deep pass to Tyreek Hill for 44 yards.

The contract extended through the 2031 season.^[124] At the time of the signing, it was the largest contract in professional sports history, surpassing Mike Trout's 12-year, $426.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels.^[125] Mahomes became the first professional athlete to have a half-billion dollar contract.^[126] Soccer players Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and baseball players Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto have since surpassed the contract amount.^[127]^[128]

In the Chiefs' week 2 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Mahomes achieved his fourth fourth-quarter comeback. The Chiefs trailed 17–9 entering the fourth quarter before winning in overtime 23–20. The comeback was the NFL record sixth time he overcame a 10+ point deficit to win.^[129] In a week 3 win over the Baltimore Ravens, he threw for 385 passing yards, passing for four touchdowns and rushing for one. In the game, he became the fastest quarterback to surpass 10,000 career yards. It took him 34 games to eclipse Kurt Warner's mark.^[130] He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.^[131] In week 8, he threw for 416 yards and five touchdowns in a 35–9 victory against the New York Jets.^[132] Mahomes was again named AFC Offensive Player of the Week.^[133] In a week 9 victory over the Carolina Panthers, he threw for 372 passing yards and four touchdowns.^[134] In week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mahomes led the Chiefs to a 27–24 victory while throwing for 462 yards and three touchdowns.^[135] Mahomes was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.^[136] In 2020, Sports Illustrated named him one of their Sportspeople of the Year for his activism following the murder of George Floyd and his encouragement for people to vote in the 2020 presidential election.^[137] In week 14, against the Miami Dolphins, he tied a career high with three interceptions.^[138] Mahomes rested for week 17 after the Chiefs locked up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.^[139] Mahomes finished the 2020 season with 4,740 passing yards, 38 touchdowns and six interceptions.^[140] He was named to the Pro Bowl for his accomplishments in the 2020 season.^[141]

In the Divisional Round against the Cleveland Browns, Mahomes left the game in the third quarter after being tackled by Browns linebacker Mack Wilson. He was diagnosed with a concussion, and as per NFL rules he was unable to return.^[142] The Chiefs would win the game 22–17 with backup quarterback Chad Henne. Later that week, Mahomes announced in a press conference that he had cleared concussion protocol, saying, "Everything has been good. I went through everything; three or four different doctors have said everything is looking good.'"^[143]

In the AFC Championship in a highly anticipated matchup against the Buffalo Bills and their dual-threat quarterback Josh Allen, Mahomes threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns,^[144] while leading the Chiefs to a 38–24 victory and their second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Mahomes became the youngest quarterback to start in three straight AFC Championships.^[145] The Chiefs hosted the conference championship game for the NFL-record-tying third consecutive year, the other instance was during Andy Reid's tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles.^[146]

In Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mahomes threw for 270 yards and two interceptions in the game as the Chiefs lost 31–9. It was his first double-digit loss in the NFL, and also the first time since he became the Chiefs starting quarterback that the offense did not score any touchdowns.^[147] The Buccaneers defense used two deep safeties to neutralize Mahomes's wide receiver targets.^[148] The Chiefs' injury-ravaged offensive line was no match for the Buccaneers' pass rush defense, as Mahomes was pressured on a Super Bowl record 29 of 56 dropbacks while also being sacked three times and hit twice.^[149]^[150] Despite the pressure, Mahomes still managed to throw several long accurate passes that were dropped by their intended targets resulting in incompletions: one fourth-quarter highlight showed Mahomes throwing a sidearm pass, despite being tripped by Buccaneers defensive end William Gholston, that ultimately hit the facemask of receiver Darrel Williams and was dropped.^[151]

Three days after the Super Bowl, Mahomes underwent surgery to repair a turf toe injury he suffered in the divisional round game against the Browns.^[152] He was named as the top-ranked player in the NFL by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2021.^[153]

The 38–20 loss was only his second loss by double digits in his career and his first in the regular season.^[157] Two weeks later, the Chiefs lost to the Tennessee Titans 27–3. The Chiefs' three points were the fewest points a Mahomes-led team scored since he became the starter. It was his sixth consecutive game with an interception, the longest streak of his career.

He also had a quarterback rating of 144.2, the third highest of his career and his best since 2020.^[176] He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his Week 1 performance.^[177] In Week 4, Mahomes threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns in a 41–31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning his second AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors of the season.^[178] In Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers, Mahomes threw for 423 yards and three touchdowns in the 44–23 victory, his seventh career 400-yard game.^[179] In Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans, Mahomes set single-game franchise records for pass completions (43)^[180] and pass attempts (68) in a single game.^[181] In that game, which was only his 71st career start, he broke the NFL record for passing yards in a quarterback's first 75 career starts with 21,596.^[182] The following week, his 72nd start, he would break the record for passing touchdowns in a quarterback's first 75 starts with 176.^[183] Mahomes was named AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.^[184] In the Chiefs' week 15 game against the Houston Texans, Mahomes ran for his 12th career rushing touchdown, setting a franchise record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.^[185] He was named to his fifth Pro Bowl for the season.^[186] Mahomes reached 5,000 passing yards on the season in a Week 17 win against the Denver Broncos for the second time in his career.^[187] He set the NFL record for most total yards in a season by a quarterback (combined passing and rushing) with 5,608.^[188] He also broke his own Chiefs' franchise record for passing yards in a season with 5,250.^[189]

With the number 1 seed in the AFC, the Chiefs earned a bye week in the first round of the playoffs.^[190] In the Chiefs' Divisional Round victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a high ankle sprain sidelined Mahomes for much of the first half, but he returned to the game in the second half helping lead the Chiefs to victory.^[191] In the AFC Championship game, the Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, ending a three-game losing streak (including playoffs) to the team, to advance to their third Super Bowl in four seasons.^[192] Against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, Mahomes re-aggravated his ankle late in the second quarter as the Chiefs went into halftime trailing by 10. However, Mahomes stayed in the game and led Kansas City to a touchdown on their first three drives of the second half, leading the Chiefs to a 38–35 win over the Eagles.^[193] He was awarded his second career Super Bowl MVP for his efforts. Mahomes also finished the season as the Most Valuable Player, and was the league leader in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, becoming the first player in NFL history to achieve all four feats in a season.^[194] He also joined Tom Brady and Joe Montana as the only quarterbacks to win multiple regular season and Super Bowl MVPs.^[195] Mahomes was ranked as the top player in the NFL by his peers on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2023.^[196]

2023 season

[edit]

On September 18, 2023, the Chiefs and Mahomes agreed to restructure his contract, giving him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, the most money in NFL history over a four-season span.^[197] In Week 4 against the Jets, Mahomes passed for his 200th career touchdown, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach that milestone, having done so in just his 84th start. His 51 rushing yards in the game also allowed him to break Alex Smith's franchise record for most career rushing yards by a quarterback.^[198] After defeating the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5, Mahomes became the youngest quarterback in NFL history to defeat all other 31 teams besides their own.^[199] In Week 12, Mahomes was 27-of-34 for 298 yards and two touchdowns to overcome a 14-point deficit in a 31–17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, earning AFC Offensive Player of the Week.^[200]

Despite meeting these milestones, Mahomes had his worst statistical season to that point in several categories, including yards per attempt (7.0), passing yards per game (261.4), interceptions (14), and passer rating (92.6).^[201]^[202] His receivers struggled at several points throughout the season;^[203] going into Week 18, they led the league in dropped passes. Despite this, Mahomes set a career-high in completion percentage with 67.2%.^[204] Mahomes was notably fined $50,000 for publicly criticizing the referees of the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills, in which they lost 20–17 after a go-ahead touchdown by receiver Kadarius Toney was negated due to Toney lining up offsides.^[205] Mahomes ranted as he greeted Josh Allen after the game, saying "Fucking terrible. Fucking worst call I've ever fucking seen."^[206] In spite of these struggles, the Chiefs once again won the division, resulting in Mahomes and several other starters resting in the final game of the season.^[207] Mahomes earned his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl nomination.^[208]

The Chiefs' playoff run began with a commanding 26–7 win over the Miami Dolphins at home in subzero temperatures in the wild card round.^[209] The next week, Mahomes played his first career road playoff game, scoring a narrow 27–24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.^[210] This win gave the Chiefs their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game, the second-most consecutive conference championship games for a franchise of all time (the most is held by the New England Patriots with 8).^[211] Against the Bills, Mahomes, along with tight end Travis Kelce, broke the record for most career touchdowns (16) in the playoffs for a quarterback/receiver duo.^[212] Mahomes then led the Chiefs to a win on the road against the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship to advance to Super Bowl LVIII, marking Mahomes's fourth Super Bowl appearance in five seasons.^[213] The win marked Mahomes's 14th career playoff win, tying Terry Bradshaw, John Elway, and Peyton Manning for third place in quarterback playoff wins.^[214] In the Super Bowl, Mahomes won his third Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 333 yards with two touchdowns, including the game-winning touchdown pass in overtime to Mecole Hardman, as the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25–22 in just the second Super Bowl in history to go to overtime.^[215] Kansas City became the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots nineteen years earlier and Mahomes became the third player with three Super Bowl MVPs.^[216] With his victory in the Super Bowl, Mahomes earned his 15th postseason victory, moving into sole possession of third-most in NFL history, only behind Joe Montana and Tom Brady.^[217] He was ranked fourth by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2024.^[218]

2024 season

[edit]

Mahomes and the Chiefs entered the 2024 season looking to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowl championships.^[219] In the NFL Kickoff Game against the Ravens, Mahomes passed Len Dawson as the Chiefs' all-time passing yards leader in a 27–20 win.^[220] In Week 3, Mahomes won his 77th regular season start in a victory against the Atlanta Falcons. With the win, Mahomes passed Tom Brady and Roger Staubach for most victories by a quarterback through their first 100 starts.^[221] In Week 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Mahomes reached 30,000 career passing yards, doing so in just 103 regular season games. This was faster than any other quarterback in NFL history, surpassing the previous record of 109 games set by Matthew Stafford.^[222] Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to a 9–0 start, tying the best start to a season in franchise history.^[223] In Week 11, the team suffered their first setback with a 30–21 loss to the Buffalo Bills.^[224] In Week 14, Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to a ninth consecutive AFC West title with a 19–17 win over the Chargers.^[225] With a 29–10 win over the Steelers in Week 17, Mahomes and the Chiefs clinched the top overall seed in the AFC for the postseason.^[226] The win marked the 15th regular season victory for the Chiefs, setting a new franchise single-season record.^[227] With playoff seeding locked up, Mahomes and other Chiefs starters rested in Week 18. In the 2024 season, Mahomes finished with 3,928 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and 11 interceptions to go with 58 carries for 307 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.^[228] It was his first season as a starter without 4,000 passing yards or a Pro Bowl selection.^[229]

In the Divisional Round, Mahomes helped lead the Chiefs to a 23–14 victory over the Houston Texans.^[230] In the AFC Championship against the Bills, Mahomes scored two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown, leading the Chiefs to a 32–29 win and becoming the first back-to-back defending champions to return to the Super Bowl.^[231]^[232] The victory also moved Mahomes to second all-time in playoff wins among quarterbacks, behind Tom Brady.^[233] In a rematch of Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles, Mahomes struggled mightily, throwing for 33 yards, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), and a passer rating of 10.7 in the first half. The Chiefs trailed 34–0 and did not cross midfield until late in the third quarter.^[234]^[235] Mahomes put up most of his positive statistics after the game was out of reach, finishing with 257 yards, three touchdowns, three turnovers, and a career-high six sacks as the Chiefs lost 40–22.^[236]^[237]

Player profile

[edit]

A former baseball pitcher and considered by some a dual-threat quarterback and the "most talented player in the NFL" due to his elusiveness in the pocket, arm strength, running ability, and athleticism despite being a pass-first quarterback,^[258]^[259] Mahomes is also known for attempting and completing innovative throws, including no-look passes and behind-the-back tosses.^[260] FiveThirtyEight also cites his unique and "uncanny" ability to know his receivers' timing and use his athleticism to fool defenders and get his receivers open.^[258] Mahomes credits his years playing baseball with developing his arm strength while throwing the football.^[261] Ahead of Super Bowl LVII, which was the first Super Bowl to feature two black starting quarterbacks as the Chiefs faced off against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, Mahomes acknowledged that his creative playing style was inspired by that of Negro league baseball players, especially Satchel Paige, who likewise inspired his father's baseball playing style.^[260]

A number of defensive coordinators have cited Mahomes's ability to improvise as one of his key skills.^[262] Since Mahomes's breakout 2018 season, NFL general managers and scouts have sought out prospects that can break out of designed plays. Number one overall draft picks Kyler Murray and Bryce Young are regarded as examples of this effect, with the two being highly touted prospects despite lacking traditional size for the position.^[263]

Personal life

[edit]

On September 1, 2020, Mahomes proposed to Brittany Matthews, his high school sweetheart, in a suite in Arrowhead Stadium, the day Mahomes received his Super Bowl LIV championship ring.^[264] Matthews had a brief professional soccer career playing for Icelandic club UMF Afturelding and then became a certified personal trainer.^[265] She is also a co-owner of the Kansas City Current, a women's professional soccer team.^[266] The couple married on March 12, 2022.^[267] They have three children:^[268]^[269] two daughters and a son.^[270]^[271]

Mahomes is an evangelical Christian.^[272] His mother said he found his faith when he was in middle school, where he was involved with a youth group at his church.^[273] Mahomes has said, "Faith is huge for me ... Before every game, I walk the field and I do a prayer at the goalpost. I just thank God for those opportunities and I thank God for letting me be on a stage where I can glorify Him. The biggest thing that I pray for is that whatever happens, win or lose, success or failure, that I'm glorifying Him."^[274]

Mahomes is featured in the NFL Films and Netflix sports documentary series Quarterback, alongside other NFL quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota. All three players were filmed during the 2022 season on-and-off the field. The series premiered on Netflix on July 12, 2023. Mahomes's newly established 2PM Productions collaborated on producing the series.^[275]^[276]

Mahomes plays golf during the offseason.^[277] He has participated in several celebrity tournaments, including the American Century Championship since 2020.^[278] He participated in the 2022 edition of The Match alongside Josh Allen, losing to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.^[279] He also participated in the 2023 edition teaming up with his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce against Golden State Warriors teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Mahomes and Kelce won the match.^[280]

Endorsements

[edit]

Following his 2018 MVP season, Mahomes received multiple endorsement deals. His first contract came from Hunt's (Which has never had business ties to the family that owns the Chiefs) upon revealing his love for ketchup.^[281] In addition, he has signed endorsement deals with Oakley,^[282] Essentia Water, Hy-Vee,^[283] State Farm,^[284] DirectTV,^[285] Adidas,^[286] and Head & Shoulders.^[287] He also signed an endorsement contract with Helzberg Diamonds who released a line of necklaces featuring his logo.^[288] He was named the cover athlete for Madden NFL 20, becoming the first Chiefs player to be on the cover.^[289] He would be named the Madden cover athlete again, along with Tom Brady, two years later for Madden NFL 22. Mahomes and Brady are the first players to be named cover athlete twice.^[290] In 2020, he signed an endorsement deal with sports drink maker BioSteel sports drinks.^[291] He also became an equity partner in the company.^[292] On August 16, 2021, he announced he would be releasing his own signature shoe as part of his endorsement deal with Adidas. The shoe was called the Mahomes 1 Impact FLX and was released on August 23.^[293]

In 2022, Mahomes appeared in a commercial for Coors Light. NFL rules prohibit players from endorsing alcohol products, so the product in the commercial was a Coors flashlight instead of beer.^[294] In 2023, he appeared in commercials for cellphone provider T-Mobile.^[295] Also in 2023, he signed an endorsement deal with the beverage manufacturer Prime.^[296]

Philanthropy and activism

[edit]

In April 2019, Mahomes announced the establishment of a nonprofit organization called the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation.^[297] The nonprofit's website states that it is "dedicated to improving the lives of children".^[298]

Following the murder of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin, Mahomes, along with teammate Tyrann Mathieu and several other NFL players, made a video encouraging the NFL to condemn police brutality and violence against black people and to admit it was wrong to silence Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid for their protests during the playing of the National Anthem.^[299]

Mahomes and Mathieu started a voter registration project in Kansas City. The project encouraged residents to register to vote in the 2020 presidential election. He worked with the Chiefs to encourage players to vote. He joined LeBron James' Rock the Vote initiative to encourage people to register and vote.^[300]

Mahomes was named to the Time 100 list of most influential people of 2020,^[301] 2023,^[302] and 2024.^[303]

In 2024, Mahomes donated $5 million to his alma mater, Texas Tech, to assist with stadium and football center projects.^[304]

Business investments

[edit]

In 2020, Mahomes joined the Kansas City Royals ownership group as a minority stakeholder.^[305] In 2021, he joined Sporting Club, the ownership group of the Major League Soccer franchise Sporting Kansas City.^[306] Mahomes is a member of an ownership group of an upcoming professional pickleball team based in Miami, Florida. The ownership group also includes Naomi Osaka, Nick Kyrgios, and Rich Paul.^[307] Mahomes joined the ownership group of the NWSL's Kansas City Current in 2023. His wife has been a member of the ownership group since the team was established.^[308] In 2023, Mahomes (as well as Travis Kelce) became an investor in the Alpine racing team of Formula One.^[309]

In 2021, Mahomes became an investor in a group to expand the Whataburger fast food restaurant franchise to Missouri and Kansas. The locations will primarily be in the Kansas City metropolitan area and the Wichita, Kansas metropolitan area, and multiple locations in between the cities.^[310] As of June 2024, there are 14 Whataburger locations in the Kansas City area, with Mahomes's investment group, called KMO Burgers, operating 11 of them.^[311]

In 2024, Mahomes, along with the rest of the ownership group of the Current, expressed interest in bringing a WNBA expansion franchise to Kansas City. They cited the success of the Current, the WNBA expanding to add teams in San Francisco, Portland, and Toronto by 2026, and the WNBA hoping to have 16 teams by 2028. The bid is likely to have competition from other cities like St. Louis and Philadelphia.^[312]^[313]

In 2025, Mahomes and Travis Kelce will open a steakhouse called 1587 Prime at the Loews Hotel Kansas City.^[314]
