There are so many records that come up and so many different statistics that are kept. The only thing I was ever focused on was winning, and I’m sure that’s what Pat’s focused on as well.”Brady also ranked the Chiefs No. 2 in his power rankings following their 5–0 start.Mahomes entered the milestone with 1,309 passing yards, nine touchdowns, three interceptions and a 66.5% completion rate during the 2026 season.Mahomes said the record had been a frequent topic as he approached 100 wins, joking that each victory seemed to bring him level with Brady.Mahomes speaks:“My honest first reaction is they’ve said this from 97 on. I’m like, ‘When did Tom lose another game?’ Because I feel every game I win, I tie him,” Mahomes said with a laugh in his postgame press conference. “But in all seriousness, it’s always an honor to be in any conversation as far as winning football with him. That’s the GOAT.”Mahomes said he wanted to throw more touchdowns and improve his statistics. After forcing an early pass against the Chargers, he adjusted his approach and focused on finding the best way to win.The Chiefs will next face the Seattle Seahawks, with Mahomes set to pursue his 101st regular-season win after reaching the 100-win milestone against the Chargers.More NFL NewsTyreek Hill’s Potential Return to Chiefs May Hinge on One Detail Fans Can’t IgnorePatrick Mahomes’ Former Teammate Linked as Chiefs Reunion CandidateChiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Leaves Every Other NFL Quarterback Behind in Latest RankingsTom Brady Draws Blockbuster NFC Matchup in Latest Broadcast AssignmentThe post Tom Brady Sends a Message After Patrick Mahomes Matches His Historic Pace appeared first on Gridiron Heroics.
