Patrick Mahomes becomes youngest quarterback to beat all 31 opposing NFL teams
You can add another impressive feat to Patrick Mahomes‘ never-ending list of accomplishments. The two-time NFL MVP has now become the youngest quarterback in league history to defeat all 31 opponents.
At age 28, Mahomes has accomplished the feat quicker than any other quarterback in the NFL’s long history. Per Pro Football Talk, every other QB to do it did so at the age of 30 or older.
Sunday’s 27-20 victory over the Vikings marked the first time Mahomes played against Minnesota. In the 2019 meeting, Mahomes was out with an injury. Kansas City got the 26-23 victory, led by Matt Moore.
Mahomes became one of five quarterbacks to defeat every NFL team except the one he played for, joining Alex Smith (Chiefs), Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers), Russell Wilson (Seahawks) and Aaron Rodgers (Packers).
There are four quarterbacks in NFL history who have defeated all 32 teams in the league: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.

Travis Kelce exits Chiefs-Vikings game with ankle injury
A scary moment occurred in Sunday’s Chiefs-Vikings game when Kansas City’s star tight end, Travis Kelce, exited the game with an injury. But there was some positive news provided on his status.
Kelce was cleared to return to the game in the second half. He departed the contest with just over a minute to play in the first half.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that medical staff believed Kelce suffered a high ankle sprain in the game. He was quickly given the nod to return.
Although the injury doesn’t sound too serious, it will be something to monitor, especially with the Chiefs on a short week.
