Patrick Mahomes keeps incredible streak with Tom Brady alive and moves within one of QB icon with latest Chiefs feat
Tom Brady’s record is being approached by Patrick Mason.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans 23–14 to advance to the AFC Championship game and face the Buffalo Bills.
They need just two more victories to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
However, after leading the Chiefs to their seventh consecutive AFC Championship game, Mahomes is already getting close to creating his own history.
He is currently one game away from tying Brady’s eight-game winning streak at the New England Patriots.
Given that the legendary quarterback played in 14 conference championship games, Mahomes still has a lot of catching up to go.

Remarkably, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ victory over the New York Jets in the 2010 AFC Championship was the last time neither Brady nor Mahomes were present.
A teammateBefore the playoffs, Travis Kelce was gushing over Mahomes, telling ESPN: “He’s just as much of a superstar off the field as he is on it.” He is family to me.
“Throughout my career with the Chiefs, Andy Reid has been a constant, but after Patrick Mahomes joined the team, things truly took off.
“I know everybody knows that, but what I see in the building, his leadership, his ability to relate to everybody and motivate everybody, and be accountable, it’s unique, it’s like nothing else.”
“It’s just more intense when the greats come up in the playoffs.
“The best players and the best leaders step up and make the best plays, and he’s done that, so I expect the same from him.”
