The Chiefs had to settle for field goals on their first two drives Sunday, and fans couldn’t help but wonder if the team’s offensive issues were continuing.
But things turned around in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, as the Chiefs scored touchdowns on consecutive drives.
Both came on touchdown passes from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He threw a 4-yard strike to JuJu Smith-Schuster with 4 minutes before halftime.
After the Chiefs’ defense got a stop, Mahomes capped a 40-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Isiah Pacheco.
In addition to putting the Chiefs ahead 20-7, that touchdown pass was an NFL record. It was the 250th career TD throw for Mahomes in his 116th career regular-season game.
No one in NFL history has ever gotten to 250 career TD passes faster than Mahomes.
The CBS Sports broadcast said Mahomes beat Dan Marino’s record, but Aaron Rodgers actually set the record in 2015. Rodgers did it in 121 games, while Marino got to 250 touchdown passes in 128 games.
