A victory in the upcoming Super Bowl would secure him the third spot, trailing only the iconic Joe Montana. Moreover, Mahomes is making strides in playoff passing statistics, boasting 39 touchdowns through 17 games. A touchdown in the Super Bowl would tie him with Peyton Manning for the fourth-most all-time, further solidifying his postseason legacy. With a mere 162 yards away from matching John Elway for the eighth-most playoff passing yards, Mahomes is poised to leave an enduring mark on NFL playoff records.
