When the NFL reflects on Patrick Mahomes’ Hall of Fame career, potentially one of the top-five quarterbacks to ever play when all is said and done, it’ll start with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was Mahomes’ breakout performance, torching the Steelers with a six-touchdown performance in a 2018 42-37 Week 2 win over Pittsburgh.
