15-0: Patrick Mahomes Chiefs’ record which means the Eagles have no chance in the Super Bowl

The NFL is a league full of surprises, but rarely when it comes to Patrick Mahomes. This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback will make his fifth Super Bowl appearance, and as always, fate and statistics seem to be on his side. On this occasion, there’s something peculiar about his relationship with domed or closed roof stadiums: Mahomes has never lost a game under a roof in the 15 he’s played.

Super Bowl LIX will take place at the legendary Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. This isn’t just another game for Mahomes. It’s the perfect stage for a quarterback who has made closed stadiums his personal kingdom. Weather has never been an issue for him—he’s shown he can handle rain, snow, or scorching heat—but when the roof is closed, the story changes. Somehow, Mahomes seems to make everything look easier, everything flows better.

Mahomes' incredible record and statistics in domed stadiums

And then there’s his record. 15 wins and zero losses in domed or closed roof stadiums. We’re talking about over 4,500 passing yards in 15 games, 30 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. Incredible? Yes. Surprising? Maybe to some, but let’s not forget we’re talking about a future Hall of Famer.

In those 15 games, Mahomes has thrown for 4,565 yards with 30 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

That’s an average of 304.3 yards and two touchdowns per game. To put that yardage figure into perspective, the NFL’s top passer in 2024, Joe Burrow, didn’t even average 290 yards per game. Averaging over 300 yards per game over a span of 15 games is incredibly impressive.

A year ago, Mahomes shone in Super Bowl LVIII, played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The Raiders’ home is also a dome. Mahomes completed 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception as the Chiefs defeated the 49ers 25-22 in overtime.

Mahomes tries to explain closed roof prowess

“I never knew that [statistic] until this week,” Mahomes said when asked about the record in the week leading up to Super Bowl LIX, where he will again face the Eagles in a rematch of the Championship game from two years ago.

“I have no idea,” Mahomes humbly revealed. “I guess the conditions are perfect. It’s all you need: a good field, controlled climate. That helps everything flow, like everything is in place.”

And if indoor stadiums were few, sub-zero temperatures are not. Mahomes has shown throughout his career that when the thermometer drops, he rises. In extreme cold conditions, his record is 15-3. In the cold, it seems, Mahomes doesn’t freeze. Quite the opposite: he becomes the best version of himself.

However, the Superdome is far from a cold venue. The perfect temperature for Mahomes to thrive is still there, but this time with an added detail: the story of what’s about to unfold. This isn’t just another Super Bowl. It’s another chance for Mahomes to leave an indelible mark by becoming the first quarterback to lead a team to a three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
