Pittsburgh\u2019s Aaron Rodgers had held the previous fastest mark, needing 121 games to reach 250.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs victory saw them improve to 2-2 while the Ravens slipped to 1-3 for the season. Baltimore\u2019s defeat was compounded by an injury to quarterback Jackson, who limped out of the game in the third quarter with what appeared to be a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes finished with 270 passing yards for four touchdowns with no interceptions, and was buoyed by the return from injury of wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who finished with 83 receiving yards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe makes those big plays happen,\u201d Mahomes said of Worthy. \u201cIt opens up everybody else so super-excited about how we look. We\u2019ve got some stuff to clean up \u2014 getting touchdowns instead of field goals, but it\u2019s something to build on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Indianapolis Colts also saw their unbeaten record end, losing 27-20 to the Los Angeles Rams in California. The Rams took the winning lead after quarterback Matthew Stafford\u2019s 88-yard touchdown pass to Tutu Atwell. The Rams improved to 3-1 with the victory.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams division rivals the San Francisco 49ers lost 26-21 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, while in Las Vegas, the Raiders suffered a 25-24 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Bears prevailed after blocking a last-gasp 54-yard field goal attempt to deny Las Vegas victory.<\/p>\n<p>In the late game, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers swapped field goals in overtime before finishing a high-scoring tied game at 40-40. Brandon McManus\u2019s 34-yard field goal in the final second of overtime secured a share of the spoils for Green Bay.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mahomes became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 250 passing touchdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":105307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[30],"class_list":["post-105306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
