NFL: Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers - Source: Imagn
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs came into the Week 17 matchup against the Steelers knowing that if they got a win on Christmas afternoon, it would officially make them the top seed in the AFC. They did so with minimal fuss after noticing a 29-10 victory on the road.
They are now 15-1 for the season with just one week remaining. Their nearest competitor in the conference is the Buffalo Bills, who are 12-3 and, therefore, have no hope of catching Kansas City.
In the process, Patrick Mahomes threw his 245th career touchdown. That is one more than Peyton Manning, the previous record holder, had over his first eight NFL seasons. Given the Chiefs star was not even the starter in his rookie season, it was a monumental achievement.
