In Sunday's 37-20 victory over Lamar Jackson and the visiting Ravens, Mahomes completed 25 of his 37 pass attempts for 270 yards and four touchdowns, more than doubling his season touchdown total in a single game.
Mahomes connected with four different receivers on his touchdowns — Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton and Isiah Pacheco. This stellar performance marked his first four-touchdown game since the 2023 regular season.

Mahomes and the Chiefs began the 2025 season with a disappointing 0-2 record, suffering losses to the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning AFC champions have since notched back-to-back victories and are back to .500.
"When you're playing one of the better teams in the NFL, you know you're going to have to be a little bit more aggressive, and I know their record doesn't show, but everybody knows that's the Baltimore Ravens, and they've had so much success these last few years," Mahomes said after Sunday's Week 4 win.
"We had a good game plan going in, we knew we had to raise our game, and I think that we finished the game the right way, but it was a close game throughout until the very end there, and I thought we executed at a high level in crucial situations and that's what changes the tide of the game."

Mahomes seems happy with the way his team has improved over the last few weeks.
“We've been making little mistakes here and there and that causes frustration, but we've been learning from them," Mahomes said. "I've been proud of the guys for the way they've responded, getting better every week.”
Through the first four games of 2025, Mahomes has 939 yards, seven touchdowns and just one interception with a 61.3 completion percentage. He's also rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
The Chiefs will look to continue their positive momentum into a primetime "Monday Night Football" matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5.
