[Patrick Mahomes](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/patrick-mahomes) made history during Sunday Night Football when he added another all-time accomplishment to his already impressive resumé. With this being just Mahomes’s sixth NFL season, he’ll almost certainly be adding a lot more awards to his trophy case. Before him, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was the fastest to reach 20,000 passing yards when he did it in 71 games as a member of the Lions.

The rematch of Super Bowl 55 participants is starkly different this time, with the Kansas City quarterback throwing three TDs.

They made a lot of good plays. Two plays later, the Chiefs were in the end zone, with Mahomes throwing a 16-yard touchdown to Travis Kelce. “Give thjem a lot of credit. Our pass defense was poor. Our job is to hold them to three or get a turnover.” Your job is to do your job whenever you’re out there. Our run defense was poor. Our red-zone defense was poor. Bucs coach Todd Bowles didn’t mince words after the game. Tampa Bay entered the game having allowed only 27 points this season but gave up 28 in the first half alone.

The Buccaneers and Chiefs will meet for the first time since Tampa Bay blew out Kansas City in Super Bowl LV, when Brady won his fifth Super Bowl MVP in a 31-9 ...

Tampa Bay has given up 165 yards to tight ends this season (10th-most in NFL) and Mahomes targets the tight end 31.1% of his attempts (third-most in NFL). Having the full contingent of wide receivers would open up the passing game, especially against a Kansas City defense that has allowed running backs to catch 28 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown in three games. Brady has completed 64.7% of his passes for 1,403 yards with nine touchdowns to five interceptions and a 92.2 passer rating against the Chiefs when Mahomes has started. His interception was also a forced throw in coverage on the final play of last Sunday's game with the Chiefs down three. Mahomes has completed 73.2% of his passes against zone coverage for 502 yards with zero touchdowns to one interception for a 93.0 passer rating this season. While the touchdowns have come against man coverage, Mahomes has proven he can take what's given to him in order to move the chains. The only way Mahomes can earn a postseason win over Brady is if the Chiefs and Buccaneers can meet up in the Super Bowl again, which is what made Brady's victory over Mahomes so significant in Super Bowl LV. Mahomes is blitzed on 31.6% of his dropbacks, the eighth most in the NFL. While this may be the final time Brady and Mahomes square off, Sunday's showdown is expected to be a memorable one between two of the game's great quarterbacks. Brady and Mahomes have already squared off five times, which is impressive considering they both have played in different conferences over the past three years (have met twice since Brady signed with the Buccaneers). In that matchup, Mahomes put up the lowest passer rating he ever recorded in a game and was pressured on 52% of his dropbacks -- the most against any quarterback in Super Bowl history. Brady and Mahomes have engaged in some epic duels in the past, yet the last showdown easily went to the GOAT.

The Sporting News compares Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes' career stats ahead of the quarterbacks' sixth meeting.

Mahomes holds his own game by game, but he is even more impressive in the postseason. The Chiefs' main goal, naturally, is to win Super Bowls, not inflate Mahomes' counting stats. Given Mahomes' playing style, it's unreasonable to think he'll challenge Brady's longevity. Mahomes has the 2018 MVP; Brady has been voted MVP three times (2007, 2010 and 2017). Mahomes has just the one. But Mahomes holds his own in terms of averages. Brady dominates Mahomes in counting stats, naturally, thanks to 23 years of NFL experience vs. Brady is eighth at 265.4. Drew Brees is second at 280. Mahomes threw 49 passes, completing 26, for 270 yards and a pair of interceptions; Brady passed 29 times, completing 21, for 201 yards and three touchdowns. The Sporting News looks at the numbers. He already had an NFL MVP under his belt and the Chiefs looked like a juggernaut.

The bad loss in Super Bowl 55 made the Chiefs invest heavily in their offensive line via free agency and trades (Joe Thuney, Orlando Brown Jr.) and the draft (Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith).

Patrick Mahomes made some unbelievable plays in the Chiefs' win over the Buccaneers which drew immense praise from even his longest-tenured teammates.

"I was able to use my speed, my little bit of speed, to get around the edge there. That play encapsulated what Mahomes was able to achieve for most of the night against the Buccaneers. Mahomes was certainly happy with his effort in the victory. Additionally, Mahomes used off-base throws and wacky arm angles to get the ball to his receivers around defenders. Just when it looked like he was going to try to run the ball in, he spun away from Devin White and chucked up a quick little jump-shot pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the end-zone for the score. Mahomes was, in fact, Houdini-like on the Chiefs' third touchdown of the game.
