Record‑Breaking Night: Patrick Mahomes Makes NFL History Against the Ravens

In a thrilling Week 4 showdown, Patrick Mahomes added another chapter to his storied career, combining elite play with historical significance. Here’s a breakdown of what made that night unforgettable.

The Kansas City Chiefs met the Baltimore Ravens in a high-stakes matchup, with both teams aiming to avoid a poor start to the 2025 season.

The game was fraught with storylines: injuries, adjustments, and pressure. But Mahomes’ performance stole the spotlight.

Final score: Chiefs 37, Ravens 20.

The Milestone: 250 Touchdowns

During the game, Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to running back Isiah Pacheco just before the two-minute warning in the second quarter.

That pass marked the 250th touchdown throw of his NFL career and in doing so, he became the youngest quarterback in NFL history to reach that mark.
