The only other name on that list is Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. However, Patrick Mahomes already surpasses Manning in one key aspect — he owns three Super Bowl rings to Manning’s one.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs at their best
Monday’s performance solidified the Chiefs’ return to form. With this win, the team has now secured three consecutive victories and holds a 5-3 record heading into Week 9.
Patrick Mahomes was the undisputed star of the game, throwing for 299 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions — a display that reignited MVP buzz across the league.
The official NFL+ account highlighted the milestone with a post that left no doubt:
“Patrick Mahomes joins Hall of Famer Peyton Manning as the only players with over 40,000 passing yards in their first nine seasons, including playoffs.”
With this performance, the quarterback reaffirmed his status as one of the league’s defining figures and proved why his legacy continues to grow with every game.
Patrick Mahomes and another record on the horizon
Although Patrick Mahomes now shares historic ground with Manning, another target still lies ahead.
The record for most regular-season passing yards over nine years belongs to Matt Ryan, with 37,701 yards.
However, Mahomes postseason dominance and his ability to shine under pressure set him apart from the rest.
Up next, a high-stakes rematch against Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills in Week 9. If Patrick Mahomes maintains this unstoppable momentum, he won’t just keep making history — he could once again establish himself as the clear favorite for the NFL MVP award.
