NFL Wild Card Round: Patrick Mahomes Just 1 Win Away From Outperforming Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman

Patrick Mahomes is ready to take over legendary QB Troy Aikman at the Arrowhead this week. QB Patrick Mahomes has proven his worth as the Red Army’s spearhead by taking the Chiefs to the playoffs every single time. Two-time Super Bowl champ’s rise to glory is duly compared to the greatest of the games. In his pursuit of success, Magic Mahomes is on his way to breaking another record in the Wild Card game against the Miami Dolphins.

The Cowboys’ mainstay Troy Aikman’s domination spanned 12 years. 3 time Super Bowl champion had an illustrious career and was feared by the greats of the game with the ball in hand. But now the Hall of Famer is about to be taken over by reigning champion Patrick Mahomes, making Kansas City prouder than ever.

Patrick Mahomes: Legend in the making!

If Mahomes wins the wild card round, then he will leave behind Aikman in an astonishing record. KC Sports Network indulged the fan base about the news by posting on X. The post shed light on the major record up for grabs, “With a win over the Miami Dolphins on Saturday, Patrick Mahomes can surpass Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman in career playoff wins.”

It further stated, “Both quarterbacks currently sit at 11 wins each”. Aikman achieved the feat in four years from 1992 to 1996, displaying complete supremacy over that period. Mahomes will achieve the same a little late in his fifth year. Still, if he does so, this will be the era of a new dawn and a new age of complete domination that the NFL hasn’t seen since the retirement of Tom Brady. It’s too early to predict, but no one in the league has come closer to the enthralling record in this less time.

Mahomes’ unmatchable playoff domination

It will take time to reach the heights of Tom Brady, who has 35 playoff wins, 48 playoff appearances with seven Super Bowl wins. This is the stuff of fantasies and out of the current batch of QBs, Patrick Mahomes seems to be dreaming one. In the last five years, under the leadership of Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs have recorded the most playoff appearances (14) followed by the 49ers and the Rams who both had nine. Mahomes has recorded 11 playoff wins at the same time. The next player on the list is Joe Burrow, who just has five.
