If we’ve learned anything this postseason, it’s that you can never doubt Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Despite a shaky regular season, the Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Miami Dolphins to open the playoffs, won road games against the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens, then came back from a deficit of 10 points in the Super Bowl to defeat San Francisco. 49ers in overtime.
Mahomes has now won three Super Bowls, made four Super Bowl starts (the most ever by a quarterback before age 30), and won 15 playoff games (the third most by a quarterback of all time). As Mahomes continues to build on his already impressive legacy, how does his career compare to that of the great Tom Brady during his first six seasons as a full-time starter? We’ll take a look.

Mahomes’ .833 winning percentage in the postseason is the best of any quarterback with at least 15 postseason starts. This current Chiefs playoff run has arguably been the most impressive. The offense hasn’t been as explosive as in previous years, and Mahomes was even forced into the first two postseason road starts of his career. The Chiefs have been underdogs in three of their four playoff games, but have emerged victorious in all of them.
Brady is known as the “GOAT,” but there is another player on the same track. And he’s only 28 years old.
