It was a Sunday of records and highlights-reel performances in week four of the NFL as Patrick Mahomes celebrated his 100th regular season start with a win, while Jayden Daniels announced himself as a new star of the league.
The Kansas City Chiefs keep finding ways to win as the Jacksonville Jaguars find new ways to lose, while the Washington Commanders continue to surprise with record-setting rookie Daniels pulling the strings.
Mahomes celebrated his 100th regular season start with a record 78th victory – two more than Tom Brady and Roger Staubach’s previous best – while he also holds the records for the most completed passes, touchdowns and passing yards in the first 100 games of a career.
Mahomes has now won all 12 career games when the Chiefs have trailed by exactly 10 points with Sunday’s 17-10 victory at the Los Angeles Chargers – their 10th in a row.
The three-time Super Bowl champion had gone 30 games with a 50-yard TD pass before hitting speedster Xavier Worthy with a 54-yarder during the comeback, which again was built on the back of the team’s solid defence.
Mahomes says Travis Kelce is the true hero of the team.
Patrick Mahomes.
Meanwhile, Washington’s rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to a 42-14 victory at the Arizona Cardinals, showing more of his incredible poise and precision for someone at the start of his NFL career.
Daniels scored his fourth rushing TD of the season but it is his passing accuracy that is raising eyebrows, as his remarkable 82-point-1 percent pass completion rate is the best in any four-game span in the Super Bowl era.
Only Brady and Peyton Manning have produced something similar and both came during one of their MVP seasons.
