has a chance to do something this year that no other quarterback in NFL history has ever pulled off. If the beat the in LVII on Sunday night, Mahomes will end a 56-year QB curse, and the curse is pretty simple: No quarterback has ever led the league in pa sing yards AND won the Super Bowl in the same year.Mahomes finished the 2022 season with 5,250 pa sing yards, which not only led the , but it was more than 500 yards higher than his next closest competitor ( threw for 4,739).With prolific pa sers like , and Ian Happ Jersey Drew Brees dominating the NFL over the past 20 years, it seems almost impo sible that none of them have led the league in pa sing yards in the the Duane Underwood Jr. Jersey same year where they also won a Super Bowl, but that's exactly how things have played out.Not even Brady could end the curse. The recently retired quarterback made it to the Super Bowl twice during a season where he led the NFL in pa sing, but both times (2007 and 2017), he ended up losing the big game. Although Manning led the league in pa sing yards a total of three times, he didn't lead the league in 2006 (Brees led the league with 4,418 yards) or 2015 (Brees led the league with 4,870), the two seasons where he went on to win the Super Bowl.On Brees' end, although he led the league in pa sing a total of SEVEN times in his career, he didn't lead the league in pa sing in 2009 when the won the Super Bowl. As matter of fact, if Ryne Sandberg Jersey you want to stump your friends this weekend, you can ask them if they know who led the NFL in pa sing in 2009 (Answer: ).Over the past 56 years, only six quarterbacks have even MADE it to the Super Bowl in a season where they led the league in pa sing yards and those quarterbacks have gone 0-6 in the big game.

eyton Manning (Lost Super Bowl XLVIII to )2017:Tom Brady (Lost Super Bowl LII to Eagles)Although this will be Mahomes' third Super Bowl, this will be his first crack at ending the curse. When the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV against the 49ers, Mahomes didn't come close to leading the league in pa sing and that's mostly because he mi sed two games during the regular season. In Super Bowl LV, Mahomes was the NFL's second-leading pa ser going into the game, which was won by the Buccaneers 31-9.The Eagles ended Brady's shot of ending the curse and now, they'll try to do the same to Mahomes. The Sammy Sosa Jersey Chiefs QB could actually take down two curses this year. If he gets voted NFL MVP, he could to win the MVP and the Lombardi Trophy in the same year.
