In this story:


The Kansas City Chiefs finally fell in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs came up one game short of making history of becoming the only team to win three straight Super Bowls. The Chiefs lost in blowout fashion, and it was one of the worst games of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' career. The Chiefs were defeated in Super Bowl LIX 40-22.

The Chiefs could not handle the Philadelphia Eagles front four all game long. They were getting after Mahomes from the start of the game to the end. The Eagles' front four was simply too much for the Chiefs' offensive line. It was not a performance this Chiefs offense wants to remember and head coach Andy Reid could not follow his game plan.

We have not seen a front four get pressure on Mahomes like this since their last Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It seems like Mahomes was running on every play. Once the ball was snapped the pressure was on Mahomes's face. They had no answer. It started and it did not stop.

It is a loss for the Chiefs that will stick with them for a long time. With this loss in Super Bowl LIX, does this mean the Chiefs dynasty is over?

"This doesn’t mean the Chiefs lose their dynasty cards," said NFL Reporter Nate Davis of USA Today. "That hay’s been in the barn since last year. And they are the first team to win consecutive Super Bowls and then manage to return for a third crack the following season. But it is worth wondering how Kansas City recovers."

"Did we witness the death of a dynasty Sunday? Mahomes is only 29, and this roster has evolved significantly since Kansas City ended its 50-year Super Bowl drought five years ago – which means head coach Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach certainly know how to retool on the fly."

"But from emotional and personnel perspectives – to say nothing of several rising powers in the AFC to contend with – the reanimation of the Chiefs could take a while. If it happens at all."

This offseason for the Chiefs will be very important if they want to get back to the Super Bowl and win it. They will need to fix major problems on the offensive line and look to see if they can help Mahomes in the run game.
