Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce Ripped by NFL Fans in Chiefs' Super Bowl Loss to Eagles
February 10, 2025
There will be no three-peat for the Kansas City Chiefs this year.
In a stunningly bad performance, the Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was utter dominance from the Eagles all night while Kansas City's offense remained stagnant in the loss.
Patrick Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to back-to-back championships and three total in his career, had 257 passing yards on 21-of-32 passing, but turnovers proved to be detrimental. He threw two interceptions and lost the ball on a strip sack.
The three-time Super Bowl MVP threw a pick-six to Philadelphia's Cooper DeJean to make it 17-0 in the second quarter before throwing another interception late in the half, giving the Eagles the ball in the red zone. Philadelphia capitalized with a touchdown off the turnover to go into the half leading 24-0.
Mahomes had three touchdown passes, but they all came in the second half when it was too late to mount a comeback.
Mahomes' co-star, Travis Kelce, had little to show for in his fifth Super Bowl. The tight end finished with just 39 receiving yards on four receptions.
While Mahomes was far from the best version of himself, his offensive line didn't help him very much. He was sacked a career-high six times and was pressured by the Eagles' defensive line seemingly every play.
The Chiefs were by no means dominant this season, squeaking out narrow wins on their way to a 15-2 record. On Sunday, all of their weaknesses were on display and it led to a dominant win for the Eagles.
Now, Kansas City will head into the offseason and try to figure out what it needs to do to get back to championship form.
