Troy Aikman doesn't acknowledge Patrick Mahomes passing him on all-time list
Patrick Mahomes passed "Monday Night Football" color analyst Troy Aikman for most career touchdowns on Monday. Viewers wouldn't have known that watching the game.
Mahomes passed Aikman on the career touchdowns thrown list when he threw No.166 to tight end Travis Kelce in his 68th career game. Aikman threw 165 touchdowns in 165 games.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback didn't remark on Mahomes' milestone, and Aikman's silence spoke volumes to viewers watching at home.
Fans anticipated Mahomes passing Aikman prior to the game.
Aikman made headlines in 2019 when he sent a snarky reply to a tweet reporting Mahomes had "thrown 36% of Troy Aikman's career touchdowns, in about 8% of the games."
Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory that season. Aikman finished his career with three.
If Mahomes is looking for a pat on the back from Aikman, he'll have to wait.
The Chiefs don't play again on Monday night this season.
