Patrick Mahomes has already won all there is to win, but the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback can write another chapter in his storied NFL career this weekend.
Sunday sees Kansas City take on the Denver Broncos as the reigning Super Bowl champions look to consolidate their place at the top of the AFC West.
The Chiefs are riding a six-game winning streak since their surprise defeat to the Detroit Lions on opening night and well on course for another appearance in the AFC Conference Championship.
But while a Taylor Swift-inspired Travis Kelce has grabbed all the headlines, Mahomes quietly finds himself on the brink of NFL immortality.
The 28-year-old is looking to win his 13th game against the Broncos since arriving in the league, having picked up victories in each his 12 starts against the 2016 Super Bowl champions.
If the two-time MVP can inspire the Chiefs to a seventh straight win on Sunday, he will become the first QB in history to boast a 13-0 start against an NFL opponent.

The record for the longest winning streak of any kind by an NFL QB is held by Bob Griese, who recorded 17 victories against the Buffalo Bills.
Griese lost his first meeting with Buffalo in 1967 before embarking on an unprecedented 17-game winning run that stretched between 1968 and 1980.
Heavy snow is forecast on Sunday but Mahomes has become a specialist in inclement conditions.
In 2019, the Chiefs QB overcame icy condition at Arrowhead Stadium, throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-3 win over Sunday's opponents, Denver.

Mahomes is the bookmakers' favourite to win a third MVP having thrown for over 2,000 yards and 15 touchdowns so far this year.
In his most recent outing, the 28-year-old became only the eighth quarterback in history to have 10 games or more with at least 400 passing yards.
Meanwhile Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has backed his star QB to eventually emulate Tom Brady's unprecedented CV.
Brady won seven Super Bowl rings during his 22-year career - more than any other quarterback in history - but Kelce believes Mahomes is on course to eclipse the man they call the GOAT.
"One-five has an ability to find a way to get things done even when it breaks down or he’s got to make this crazy throw across the field, and that’s just something you haven’t seen in the NFL," said Kelce on the most recent episode of the I AM ATHLETE podcast.
He added: "And he’s been doing it since his first snap, and I think he’s going to play a long, long time. So I think he’ll catch him in all the accolades."
