AIKMAN BRISTLES AT MA HOMES COMPARISON

-

kindly to an unfavourab­le comparison to Kansas City Chiefs budding superstar quarterbac­k Patrick Mahomes. After The Athletic Kansas City tweeted “ICYMI: Patrick Mahomes has thrown 36% of Troy Aikman’s career touchdowns, in about 8% of the games,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame member and Fox Sports analyst was quick with a response on Twitter. “ICYMI: Talk to me when when (sic) he has 33% of my Super Bowl Titles,” Aikman, 52, wrote. Aikman, pictured, recorded three Super Bowl championsh­ips in his 12- years with the Dallas Cowboys. The six- time Pro Bowl selection threw for 32,942 yards with 165 touchdowns and 141 intercepti­ons. Mahomes, 24, has thrown for 6,576 yards with 60 touchdowns against 13 intercepti­ons in just 20 regular-season games. The reigning NFL MVP guided the Chiefs to the AFC Championsh­ip Game last season, but they fell in overtime to the New England Patriots.
