Patrick Mahomes has done it again. The Kansas City Chiefs star has extended his winning streak in the NFL playoffs, breaking a tie with Joe Montana for most playoff wins, and now is closer to the record set by Tom Brady.

With the Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC Championship Game, Mahomes now boasts 17 playoff victories, one more than the San Francisco 49ers legend. However, he still has a long way to go to catch up to the 7x Super Bowl champion.

Mahomes still needs 18 playoff wins to match the number achieved by Brady, who celebrated 35 postseason victories throughout his illustrious career. It doesn’t look easy, but the Chiefs star may make it if he keeps up with this rythm.
