He has a big tailwind, thus a big groundspeed. He is not exceeding the airplane's max Mach number but he's probably up close to it. He too had an unplanned overnight because of the mechanical issue and he wants to get home.

Full disclosure: 737 airline copilot 16+ years, ten before that in the KC-135R and others.
