Mahomes has subsequently taken over the sideline-angle throne. He hasn’t thrown another 60-yard air strike for a touchdown, but the second-year passer has completed 48 “deep” passes (through Week 13), the NFL’s descriptor for throws that travel 16 yards or more in the air, tops in the league. Mahomes has 10 touchdowns on those throws, tied for third most in the NFL. Of course, he’s also tied for second among passers with six interceptions on those bombs. Good or bad, when Mahomes goes deep, something exciting usually happens.
Among the 12 winningest coaches in NFL history, seven won at least one championship.
