Patrick Mahomes continues to climb the ranks in the NFL record books. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback threw two touchdown passes in a 24-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, reaching yet another major milestone in his career.

Mahomes first tied Joe Montana for 20th place in NFL history with his 273rd touchdown pass. He connected with Kenneth Walker III early in the second quarter to reach that mark, before taking sole possession of 20th place a few hours later.

In the fourth quarter, Mahomes completed an 11-yard pass to Travis Kelce to score his second touchdown of the game and officially surpass the San Francisco 49ers legend.

At just 31 years old, the Chiefs' quarterback could continue to climb rapidly up this list in the coming weeks. John Elway currently ranks 15th with 300 career touchdown passes—27 more than Mahomes.

Kenneth Walker III Continues to Deliver

After being one of the standout players in Kansas City's first two games this season, Kenneth Walker III once again made a significant contribution to the offense.

The running back scored two touchdowns and racked up 70 rushing yards. His performance helps the Chiefs maintain a perfect 3-0 record after three games.

Walker III, who made a name for himself with the Seattle Seahawks in the last Super Bowl, already appears to be playing a key role in Kansas City's offensive system.

For Miami, however, the game was marred by bad news. The Dolphins, who now have a 0-3 record, lost their star running back, De'Von Achane, in the first quarter.

Achane had to leave the game after suffering a leg injury. The Dolphins will now have to monitor his condition ahead of their next game.
