Patrick Mahomes could retire tomorrow and immediately walk right into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he's first eligible. Mahomes, 30, has already accomplished everything most quarterbacks could only dream of achieving throughout a full career.

However, on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback reached a major milestone, further demonstrating the historic pace he's been on so far in his career.

With the Chiefs' first touchdown in their "Sunday Night Football" matchup with the Detroit Lions, Mahomes threw a six-yard strike to second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy. That touchdown pass was Mahomes's ninth of the season, but more importantly, it was the 300th overall of his career.

And while getting to 300 would be a big deal no matter what, it's an even bigger deal since Mahomes did it in the fewest games of any quarterback in league history. Mahomes has now surpassed 300 total touchdown passes combined from the regular season and playoffs.

He entered the game with 253 in 117 regular games and 46 in 21 postseason games. Mahomes also had 33,609 passing yards, only 76 interceptions and a 66.5 career completion percentage before kickoff against the Lions.

Of course, Mahomes has made the most of his career to date. His statistics only further support his resume that includes three Super Bowl titles in five appearances, three Super Bowl MVPs, two league MVP honors, the 2018 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award and six Pro Bowls.

Mahomes would score three more touchdowns, two more with his arm and one with his legs, before the end of the game.
