Patrick Mahomes can rack up as many consecutive Super Bowl appearances as he wants, but his latest loss to the Philadelphia Eagles significantly impacted his personal stats on the big stage—putting him even further behind Tom Brady, who remains the all-time leader in multiple categories.

Heading into Super Bowl LIX, Mahomes had thrown just seven career passing touchdowns in the big game, along with five interceptions. After tossing two interceptions and three touchdowns against the Eagles, he slightly improved his total to 10 touchdowns and seven picks. However, in comparison to Brady, his numbers now look even worse.

Tom Brady remains the undisputed leader in several Super Bowl records, including 21 career touchdowns and just six interceptions across 10 appearances. Meanwhile, Mahomes, in only five Super Bowls, has already surpassed Brady in interceptions, highlighting a growing gap between the two quarterbacks in key statistical categories.

Beyond his numbers against Brady, Mahomes also saw other personal marks take a hit in his latest Super Bowl appearance against Eagles. He threw the first postseason pick-six of his career and posted one of the lowest first-half completion percentages of his playoff run, among other struggles.
