While this doesn’t guarantee that Kansas City will find success in the playoffs this season, the comparison of Mahomes to his contemporaries is striking. Few players in NFL history are as accomplished as the Chiefs’ signal caller, and in just his sixth year as Kansas City’s starting quarterback, Mahomes stands alone as the league’s preeminent passer.

His chances of securing the Chiefs a top seed in the AFC playoffs will be given a boost if he can propel Kansas City to victory against the Eagles tonight.
