Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is coming off of a primetime win against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday night. It was another solid performance for the MVP, including leading his team down the field for the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of the contest, but Mahomes also threw a rare interception in the second quarter.

The interception was only his second of the season, which is impressive on its own. But the 26 touchdowns he threw before his second pick also tied him with New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees for the all-time record for most TDs thrown before a player's second INT.

The milestone is yet another accomplishment for the young QB, who has racked up accolades and awards with the Chiefs.

Mahomes completed 34 of 45 passes (a completion rate of almost 76%) against the Raiders for 348 yards, 2 touchdowns, and the aforementioned interception. The Chiefs trailed 31-28 with under two minutes left in the game following a late Raiders touchdown, but Mahomes led his team on a 7-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a go-ahead TD pass to Travis Kelce to put Las Vegas away for good.

The Chiefs will look for their sixth straight win in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. FanDuel Sportsbook has the Bucs as 2.5-point favorites in that matchup.
