<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> did it again. The Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar quarterback kicked off the 2024 NFL season with a bang, not only leading his team but also etching his name further into the franchise’s record books.



In a thrilling showdown against the Baltimore Ravens, Mahomes surpassed legendary <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> quarterback Len Dawson to become the team’s all-time passing yards leader. With a little over 28,508 yards and counting, Mahomes has cemented his status as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.



Dawson, a Hall of Famer and a beloved figure in Kansas City, had held the record for decades. But Mahomes, with his uncanny ability to extend plays and deliver pinpoint passes, has simply been on another level. The young gunslinger is now poised to rewrite even more <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> history.



Multiple sources have suggested that Mahomes could break several more records this season. One possibility is becoming the fastest quarterback to reach 30,000 career passing yards. Additionally, he’s on pace to surpass Peyton Manning’s record for most touchdown passes in a quarterback’s first eight seasons.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> is proving his leadership skills early in the 2024 NFL season. Shortly after Xavier Worthy scored his first touchdown in the league against the Baltimore Ravens, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback made sure the rookie wide receiver got the ball from that play.



Worthy got off to a sensational start to the game at Arrowhead, showing off his impressive speed to score his first touchdown in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> in the very first ball he touched in the season opener.



The 21-year-old ran for 21 yards to make it all the way to the endzone, and even though he seemed to forget to claim the football after the celebrations, Mahomes didn’t.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> traded up in the 2024 NFL Draft to get Worthy in the first round. The Texas product was selected 28th overall, and he’s already proving the team was right in using that pick in him.



The California native had already made an impression at the at the 2024 NFL Combine, setting the 40-yard dash record of 4.21 seconds. Until then, John Ross held the highest mark at 4.22 in 2017.

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy is one of the Kansas City Chiefs‘ new weapons for the 2024 NFL season, and he’s already giving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> reasons for optimism.



On the team’s first drive at Arrowhad, the 21-year-old ran for a great touchdown to make things level against the Baltimore Ravens. And it was the first time he touched a football in an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> game.



Worthy’s 21-yard touchdown gave plenty to talk about on social media, as the users couldn’t believe his speed. Well, it looks like Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> have a pretty dangerous weapon to chase the three-peat.

<h2>Xavier Worthy’s speed makes Mahomes, Chiefs very optimistic</h2>



While his first touchdown in his first touch speaks volumes of his speed, Worthy had already given the Chiefs a promising sign by setting the scouting combine record of 4.21 seconds in the 40-yard dash.



Mahomes already noticed Worthy’s potential at training camp, letting everyone know how helpful the Texas product could prove to be for a Chiefs offense that hopes to improve from last season.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-travis-kelce-makes-something-clear-to-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-about-his-role"></div>


“Xavier does a great job,” Mahomes told reporters in August. “Obviously he’s fast, but it’s almost like he runs fast and he can run with pace fast, and so he’s able to track the ball really well, he runs a lot of great routes, and he’s going to get as physical a camp as any here, so he’s been doing a great job trying to fight off press as best as he can, getting through there and making plays happen, and he’ll keep getting better and better. I mean, if he can get through this camp, he’ll be able to get through a lot of stuff, so I’m excited for him and how he’s kind of progressed throughout camp.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> is coming off a 2023 NFL MVP season, however that was never the Baltimore Ravens quarterback end goal, and after a heartbreaking AFC championship loss to Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs, the team is riding on its leader to get over the hump this upcoming season. 



A new year usually means a clean slate and leaving every memory from the past behind. Easier said than done, especially when the first game in the schedule features the opponent that ended your season in the first place. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a> will travel to Arrowhead where reigning champions Kansas City Chiefs will be waiting.



Jackson’s sour end to his excellent season has not washed away, and the QB knows only revenge can make it taste any better. Baltimore will go full circle. Kansas knocked them out in January at Maryland, now they are looking to spoil the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city">Chiefs</a> party in Missouri. Jackson and the Ravens hope this time the coin will fell on their side.



“How I’m feeling right now,” Jackson said, via The Washington Post. “I wish I was feeling like this, body-wise, in the AFC Championship. We would have won the game. I would have been able to move around for my guys. With me just hurting and can’t move, I know if my legs were good, we would have won that [expletive]. We wouldn’t have even had to throw the ball.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240905_BUS_229717_Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph-1024x576_2114266b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-229750" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/Lamar-Jackson-leads-the-Flag-Clinic-at-FC-Bayern-Campus-on-April-21-2024-in-Munich-Germany.-Ph.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lamar Jackson leads the ‘Flag Clinic’ at FC Bayern Campus on April 21, 2024 in Munich, Germany. </figcaption></figure>





It will remain a mystery how the outcome would have gone had Lamar felt as healthy during the Chiefs-Ravens AFC championship game as he does now. Regardless, Jackson has the opportunity to mend that heatrbreak from the past and kickstart his season in similar form to his 2023 MVP version. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ravens-mvp-lamar-jackson-reveals-tom-brady-as-his-motivation-for-the-new-nfl-season"></div>


<h2>Mahomes vs Jackson head-to-head record</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and Jackson entered the league one year apart, coming off from college with different narratives. While Mahomes was believed by many to be a reach with the 10th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, Jackson was thought to be a steal with the last pick of the first round in 2018.



Championships aside, it is unquestionable that both teams are glad they made those choices. Since, the Chiefs and Ravens have faced four times in the regular season and Mahomes holds a 3-1 advantage. Only one time have they clashed in the postseason, and it were the Chiefs who prevailed during the 2023 AFC championship game. 



These two franchises have made for exciting matchups every time their paths met, however Jackson’s stats are not too good looking when facing Andy Reid’s defense. Only 4 passing TDs, with 3 others on the ground. Meanwhile, Mahomes has thrown for 12 touchdowns and rushed for one more, which means the Chiefs QB has almost doubled Lamar’s production when facing head-to-head.



<h2>Raise crows and they will peck your eyes out</h2>



Baltimore’s goal for the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season has not changed from last year. If anything it has only grown bigger on the team and fans, it is becoming more of an obsession rather than a wish. Therefore, the Ravens attacked the offseason and landed superstar running back Derrick Henry. The ‘King’ will grant a deserved rest for Jackson on the running game. 



The Ravens had great success through the ground last season, despite terrible luck with injuries, so expect that element of their scheme to become even more dominating with the addition of Henry. The RPO game could become a headache for defenses trying to contend an active threat from both Lamar and Derrick. 



The defense has lost two key elements on Patrick Queen and Geno Stone, although it brought in Eddie Jackson to provide great depth to their team’s secondary starred by Kyle Hamilton, Marcus Williams, and Marlon Humphrey. Roquan Smith is not going anywhere, either. And his presence in the middle of the field will turn paramount to contain Chiefs’ menaces Isiah Pacheco and Travis Kelce.



<h2>Jackson is focused on the ultimate prize</h2>



Lamar Jackson has won the MVP award twice. His next goal is what everybody who plays football chases for. Tired of coming up short and resisting the critics for his losses in the biggest stages, Lamar is only focused on the task at hand.



 As he will witness Kansas’ banner raising ceremony, Jackson has made it clear he does not wish to stand on the losing side of the history any longer.



“I want to feel it,” he says. “I want the ultimate award of what I’ve been busting my ass to do all my life.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are favorites to win the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> for a third consecutive year, but, thousands of fans were waiting if Peter Schrager would say otherwise.



During the last five seasons, Schrager has been spectacular predicting correctly who will win the championship or at least appear in the title game. That’s why, before the long awaited NFL Kickoff, all the attention was on Good Morning Football.



This time, the AFC is loaded with teams like the Ravens, Bills and Bengals. However, the big threat could come from the NFC thanks to the 49ers, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys"> Dallas Cowboys</a> or maybe the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a>.



<h2>Who is favored to win the Super Bowl?</h2>



According to Peter Schrager, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers will play in Super Bowl 59. That game is scheduled for February 9, 2025 at New Orleans. 







<h2>Who will the Super Bowl in 2025?</h2>



No team in NFL history has won the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons. Nevertheless, Schrager believes it’s time for a new era. In fact, the famous analyst said this won’t be a three-peat. The possible feat will be known as a ‘Chiefs-peat’ when all is said and done.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> is setting the bar higher every year. After leading the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 2022 and 2023, the star quarterback will be looking to go one step further by chasing an unprecedented three-peat in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



This is the only thing everyone at Arrowhead has been thinking about since the win against the San Francisco 49ers in February, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a>‘ moves to help Mahomes this summer are proof of that.



General manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid stayed busy in the offseason trying to keep a competitive team in Kansas City, especially to improve Mahomes’ supporting cast.



And according to Mecole Hardman, the quarterback should be excited about this moves. The player who caught the game-winning touchdown in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> LVIII believes the Chiefs’ wide receivers in 2024 are even faster than the “Legion of Zoom” group that helped Mahomes win Super Bowl LIV.

“Then it was really just me and Tyreek,” Hardman said, via ESPN. “Sammy was pretty explosive as well. But as far as just speed, I think this group is probably a little bit faster. We got a little bit more, like three or four guys that actually can run.’“


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-sends-clear-message-to-andy-reid-brett-veach-after-hollywood-browns-injury"></div>






<h2>Chiefs head into 2024 with new wide receivers for Mahomes</h2>



In the 2019 NFL season, Hardman was part of the Chiefs WR room known as “Legion of Zoom” due to its members’ speed. Apart from Hardman, the group was formed by Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Byron Pringle and Demarcus Robinson.



But five years later, one of those players believes the 2024 wideouts are even more dangerous. Hardman, who was part of the Chiefs’ three Super Bowl wins in the last five years, is one of the few receivers from last season returning to Arrowhead in 2024.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-patrick-mahomes-has-an-important-message-for-one-of-the-chiefs-new-weapons"></div>


Kansas City first landed veteran star Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in free agency before trading up in the 2024 NFL Draft to get promising rookie Xavier Worthy. Those moves were followed by the return of seasoned wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster, who celebrated Super Bowl LVII with Mahomes.



The team’s wide receivers in 2024 also include Justin Watson—who <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-reveals-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-secret-weapon-ahead-of-2024-season">Reid sees as the Chiefs’ secret weapon</a>—and Skyy Moore, which means Mahomes will have speedy weapons who can also run deep routes. Only time will tell whether Hardman’s comparison with the 2019 group was right.

NFL News: Super Bowl champion with Chiefs drops encouraging news for Patrick Mahomes

The New England Patriots announced the starting quarterback for the 2024 NFL season and fans were upset to find out rookie Drake Maye would sit behind Jacoby Brissett. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, however, had a very different outlook on the decision and even compared it to the career paths of three greats, such as himself, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes.



Drake Maye had his fair share of highlights during his first NFL preseason, and heading into the regular season fans hoped they’d see much more of the UNC prospect. Brissett has received the nod, though. And so <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/drake-maye">Maye</a> will take his place on the Patriots’ sideline when they face the Cincinatti Bengals. However, Brady believes it is for the best.



“I think it’s best that young quarterbacks, or rookie quarterbacks, watch a veteran do it,” Brady said, via The Herd. “There’s so much that goes on and quarterbacks need to process so much information so quickly. I think if you can have someone [to learn from] — and I sat behind Drew Bledsoe my first year — what a great player he was, someone that I got to watch and learn from. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> watched behind Brett Favre. Patrick Mahomes watched behind Alex Smith.“



Fans in Boston will hope Maye’s comparison with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and Rodgers has a similar outcome in the end product. And if Maye produces anything like the names Brady compared him to, then New England is in for a new age of glory.

“When you have a real pro in front of you, they can help with that learning curve even though that young quarterback isn’t necessarily going out there and losing confidence in what his abilities are.“

<h2>Brady’s message to Drake Maye</h2>



Every young player that enters an NFL building cannot wait to step onto the field under the lights. However, as it has been proven time and time again, many times it is best to wait for the right time, learning in the process. Drake Maye, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">Patriots</a> 3rd overall draft pick in 2024, is understandably trying to prove himself a starter from day one. That time will come, surely.



“Ultimately, those young players are going to get opportunities,” Brady said. “The franchises need those young quarterbacks to come in and take a big step and lead that franchise on into the future. I just like to give them a little bit of time to acclimate themselves to the pro game.“



<h2>Tom Brady addresses the qualities he looks for in NFL quarterbacks</h2>



As Brady expanded on his thoughts in current quarterbacks, the 7x Super Bowl champion detailed what key elements distinguish the great signal-callers from the pack. Brady played through two decades of NFL, he has seen players wax and wane. And as he watches a new class of young athletes embark on this journey he believes the question does not rely on their talent. 



“When you’re looking at starting quarterbacks in the NFL, everybody should be able to throw the ball well, everybody should be able to drop back and make accurate throws. It’s what can you do when you’re on the road, in front of 70,000 people, and every single player in the offensive huddle looks at you and your eyes going, ‘Does this guy have the confidence in himself to bring us back when we’re losing in the fourth quarter?’ I think that’s the mark of what I see in quarterbacks when I watch them.”



Tom Brady will take on a different role this upcoming season as he will be an on-air analyst during game broadcasts. The former QB will make his debut on the booth during the Dallas Cowboys at Cleveland Browns game on September 8th.

Three Super Bowl rings, three Super Bowl MVP awards, and two MVPs. Kansas City Chiefs star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> boasts that résumé at only 28, which is why he’s widely considered the greatest quarterback currently in the NFL.



However, that doesn’t mean he’ll be the best paid player at his position this year. According to Spotrac, Mahomes is seventh in the list of highest earning quarterbacks in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> are reportedly set to hand Mahomes $45,750,000 this year. Even though that’s a lot of money, it’s less than what the likes of Jared Goff, Jordan Love, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, Justin Herbert, and Deshaun Watson will cash in this season.



Goff leads the list in 2024 cash with an expected $80,611,00 income after agreeing to a lucrative contract extension with the Detroit Lions. This offseason, Love and Cousins were also tied to big deals by the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons, respectively.

<h2>Where does Mahomes rank on average money per year among NFL QBs?</h2>



Even though Mahomes agreed on a restructured deal to his 10-year, $450 million contract signed in 2020 with the Chiefs, his average money per year is still below other quarterbacks in the league.






<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240209#BUS#103541"></div>


<ol><li>Joe Burrow – $55 million (average annual value)</li><li>Trevor Lawrence – $55 million</li><li>Jordan Love – $55 million</li><li>Tua Tagovailoa – $53.1 million</li><li>Jared Goff – $53 million</li><li>Patrick Mahomes – $52.65 million</li><li>Justin Herbert – $52.5 million</li><li>Lamar Jackson – $52 million</li><li>Jalen Hurts – $51 million</li><li>Kyler Murray – $46.1 million</li><li>Deshaun Watson – $46 million</li></ol>



<h2>Patrick Mahomes not worried about his Chiefs contract</h2>



Since many quarterbacks got paid this offseason, the feeling is that Mahomes’ contract may need yet another update. But the quarterback has made it clear he’s not concerned about his salary on the Chiefs, as his priority is to have a strong supporting cast to continue succeeding.



“I think we do a great job of managing my money, to be able to pay me a lot of money and keep a good team around me,” Mahomes said. “I know we’ve kind of restructured it a couple of times and got the cash flow up in certain spots and certain years. It’s about having a good dialogue, good communication with the front office, with ownership. We’ve done that here. And as we’ve been able to allow me to be a highly-paid guy while at the same time build a great team around me.”

NFL News: Six quarterbacks will make much more than Patrick Mahomes with Chiefs in 2024

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> and Patrick Mahomes‘ quest for an unprecedented three-peat starts Thursday, when the Kansas City Chiefs welcome the Baltimore Ravens to Arrowhead in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season opener.



Needless to say, the football community is eagerly looking forward to watching this game after months of inactivity. Reid, meanwhile, is just curious to see how his players fare against Lamar Jackson and company.



“I’m curious to see what we’ve got,” Reid said Tuesday. “I mean, that’s always – I think that’s probably with every player, every coach, every fan, (and) every media person. They’re curious to see what you have and how you handle everything. That’s the best part about it. We will see how it goes.”



Week 1 will bring a rematch of the 2024 AFC Championship Game. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> gainned the upper hand en route to another Super Bowl victory, so Reid knows the Ravens will be seeking revenge against Mahomes early in the season.

“I’m not sure what to anticipate or expect, but we’ll see how it all works out. You’ve got two good special teams going against each other, plus (Ravens Head Coach) John’s (Harbaugh) got a ton of experience there, so we’ll just see how it goes“, Reid added.

<h2>Reid, Mahomes come from losing in Chiefs’ debut last year </h2>



The Chiefs will kick off the NFL season as the reigning champions for the second straight year. But last time out, things didn’t go according to plan for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and company.



The Detroit Lions pulled off an upset by beating the Chiefs in the 2023 NFL season opener, with Jared Goff leading his side to a hard-fought, 21-20 victory at Arrowhead on Sep. 7, 2023. With that experience in mind, Reid is hoping his squad gets off to a better start this time, even though the Ravens could mean an even bigger challenge.
