Mahomes sets record, Chiefs grab No. 1 seed

Patrick Mahomes set the NFL record for most passing and rushing yards in a season, and the Chiefs rolled to a 31-13 victory over the Raiders on Saturday to lock up the AFC’s No. 1 seed.

Mahomes passed for 202 yards and rushed for 29 against the Raiders, giving him 5,608 total yards for the season. That surpassed the record of 5,562 yards set by Drew Brees in 2011 with the Saints. More than setting the mark, Mahomes helped ensure the top seed for the Chiefs (14-3) and a bye in the first round of the playoffs, which begin next weekend. The Chiefs, however, are not assured home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

Because Monday night’s Bills-Bengals game was canceled, the Chiefs could wind up playing the Bills or Bengals in the AFC championship on a neutral field. The Bills-Bengals game was postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest. Hamlin remains in critical condition, but is improving.
