Texas Tech football alumni: Pat Mahomes making NFL look easy

One day after Pat Mahomes had one of his Texas Tech football records broken by Alan Bowman, he established a new NFL mark. Mahomes now has an NFL record 10 career touchdown passes in his first three career starts after a six touchdown performance Sunday in a 42-37 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mahomes, who started the final game of the 2017 season before being promoted to full-time starter in 2018, broke the old mark of 8 TD passes held by Tennessee Titans’ QB Marcus Mariotta and former NFL QB Mark Rypien, the Super Bowl XXVI MVP.
