Patrick Mahomes Absent from Playoffs for First Time Since 1998 with Brady, Manning

For the first time since the 1998 season, an NFL postseason will not feature any of the prominent quarterbacks Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Patrick Mahomes. This marks a notable change in the playoff landscape, ending a long-standing streak where at least one of these generational talents was present in the postseason. Mahomes' absence is part of this historic shift.
