Patrick secured Sunday’s milestone win in his 131st regular-season start, something he discussed postgame.
“I’m like, ‘When did Tom lose another game’?” Mahomes said with a laugh in a press conference. “I feel like every game I win, I tie him.”
“In all seriousness, it’s always an honor to be in any conversation, as far as winning [games], with him,” he continued about Brady, 49. “That’s the GOAT. He knows how to win football [games] better than anyone, really. If you can be mentioned in any category with him, it’s special.”

While assessing his performance, the three-time Super Bowl champion spoke about the art of improvising on the field.
“As I’ve gone throughout my career, I think I’ve gotten better and better at winning,” he said, per ESPN. “It’s not always pretty. It’s not always how I want it to be... I want to throw three touchdowns, four touchdowns, and I want to put up big stats.
Patrick added, “But whenever your defense is playing like they [were] today, you can’t force it.”
The Chiefs will visit the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 25.
