Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs came up one game short of making history of becoming the only team to win three straight Super Bowls. They 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 finally lost in the Super Bowl. This time around, they were no match for the Eagles. The Eagles dominated from start to finish. They did not let any of the Chiefs players or coaches get settled and comfortable all game long. The Chiefs' loss was shocking to everyone who saw the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs offense did not give the defense a chance all game especially early when quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions that turned into two Eagles touchdowns. That set the tone for the rest of the game and the Chiefs could not get back into it. The defense was put in a bad situation all game and could not save the offense this time.

After the Super Bowl Chiefs veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has some interesting comments about the game and how it did not go the way anyone expected.

"He [Patrick Mahomes] is human," said Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins when asked about Mahomes after Super Bowl LIX loss. "So if you guys see that he is human. They converted off our mistakes and I guess the world got to see it."

"A loss is a loss. It is a W or an L at the end of the day. Those guys beat us. So, you know tough loss. You know it is my first year being with the Chiefs."

It was not a Super Bowl to remember for the Chiefs. Hopkins had a huge drop before halftime that could have changed the game for the Chiefs and given them a fighting chance. Hopkins dropped a wide open pass from Mahomes that would have been a huge gain or even a touchdown.

But at the end of the day the Chiefs did not lose off of one play. The Eagles were just the better team and it showed in Super Bowl LIX. A long offseason awaits the Chiefs this time around.
