Patrick Mahomes chalked up yet another milestone in Saturday’s Kansas City Chiefs AFC Wild Card win.
Kansas City’s 26-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins is the 12th career postseason win for Mahomes, moving him into eighth place all-time among quarterbacks.
But what got people talking is one of the trio of players Mahomes passed on the list. The Chiefs star moved past Troy Aikman, Roger Staubach … and Aaron Rodgers.

Some fans lobbed insults at Aikman about that fact because he played for the Dallas Cowboys, the team many fans love to hate.
But fans saved their best attacks for Rodgers, who has made news for all the wrong reasons recently for his controversial statements on The Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers’ comments have earned widespread condemnation from fans, the media, and other athletes. For example, ESPN’s Dan Graziano labeled Rodgers a “liar” and a “narcissistic con artist.”
Many fans were thrilled to find another opportunity to criticize Rodgers after seeing Mahomes pass him on the list.
He will probably be what Aaron Rodgers should of been https://t.co/kRGMw8Ob4A

Patrick Mahomes, in his SIXTH NFL season, now has more playoff wins than angry old conspiracy nutjob Aaron Rodgers…and he took all his endorsement deals lol. At this point, let Aaron have the @PatMcAfeeShow. It’s all he’s got.

Patrick Mahomes also has more super bowl wins than Aaron Rodgers and has been vaccinated more than Aaron Rodgers. The only stat that Rodgers is leading Mahomes in?
