Heading into Week 13, Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of climbing yet another rung on the NFL\u2019s all-time passing ladder. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has amassed 35,330 career passing yards, leaving him just 137 yards shy of surpassing Jim Kelly (35,467) for 31st place on the Super Bowl Era leaderboard. With a big Thanksgiving performance, Mahomes could even push toward cracking the Top 30 \u2014 an impressive feat considering he is still only in the middle stage of his prime.<\/p>\n
Mahomes continues to sit near the top of the sport statistically in 2025. He enters the week ranked 2nd in the NFL in passing yards with 2,977, and he\u2019s coming off one of his best outings of the season \u2014 a 352-yard day in a 23\u201320 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The Chiefs may not have the dominant record of recent years, but their quarterback remains as consistently explosive as anyone in football.<\/p>\n
The milestone opportunity comes on the national stage as the 6\u20135 Chiefs travel to Dallas for a Thanksgiving showdown with the 5-5-1 Cowboys. Kansas City sits 3rd in the AFC West, while Dallas is fighting to stay alive in the NFC playoff picture. Every game matters now in the postseason chase, and Mahomes\u2019 pursuit of history adds an extra layer to one of the most anticipated matchups of the holiday slate.<\/p>\n
