After leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a commanding win over the New Orleans Saints, Patrick Mahomes had more than just football on his mind. Fresh off a 26-13 victory, Mahomes opened up about his plans for the upcoming bye week-and they’re not what many might have expected.

While some athletes might jet off to luxurious destinations during their time off, Mahomes plans to stay local and focus on what matters most to him: family. “I’ll be spending most of my time running around with the kids,” Mahomes shared with a smile. “It won’t be a lot of relaxation, but I’m looking forward to it.” He even hinted at possibly catching a Kansas City Royals game, showing that he’s keen on making the most of his time close to home.

Despite the downtime, Mahomes isn’t taking his foot off the gas. The Chiefs‘ quarterback also highlighted how his team, especially the defense, has stepped up in recent weeks. “They’re playing their hearts out,” he said, praising their resilience in the face of mounting injuries.

In a lighter moment, Mahomes couldn’t help but laugh while recalling Travis Kelce’s audacious lateral pass during the game, comparing it to antics from his three-year-old daughter, Sterling. “It’s like talking to my kids sometimes,” Mahomes quipped. This sense of humor and connection to family isn’t new; Mahomes has frequently shared how much his wife, Brittany, and their children mean to him, particularly as he balances the demands of football.

As the Chiefs prepare for a well-earned break, Mahomes will undoubtedly enjoy his time off-but fans know that once he’s back, it’ll be business as usual. What many might not realize is that the Chiefs’ latest win brings Mahomes even closer to an incredible career milestone.

Mahomes dominated on MNF once again

While many focused on the team’s success, Mahomes quietly added to his growing legacy. His performance against the Saints was another in a long line of dominant showings. Mahomes threw for 331 yards, connected with key targets like Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and even facilitated Kareem Hunt’s triumphant return to the end zone. The victory wasn’t just a team win; it marked Mahomes’ 77th career victory, making him the quarterback with the most wins in his first 100 starts-a feat that surpasses even the legendary Tom Brady.

With Mahomes continuing to break records, comparisons to Brady are inevitable. While Brady’s career totals may still stand tall, Mahomes is steadily chipping away at them. Leading the NFL in crucial stats like passing yards per game and career passer rating, Mahomes is on a trajectory that could see him rewriting the record books well before he turns 30.

The Chiefs‘ star has already cemented his place as one of the game’s greats, but with each passing week, it becomes clearer that he’s not done yet. Whether on the field or off, Mahomes’ focus on family and his relentless drive to win make him a force to be reckoned with.

As Kansas City’s bye week approaches, one thing remains certain: while Mahomes may spend the next few days running around with his kids, it won’t be long before he’s back on the field, making history yet again.
