Patrick Mahomes Confirms Who to Blame for Humiliating Chiefs Loss as He Fails Josh Allen’s Request
The 3-peat remains unconquered! The Kansas City Chiefs, who dominated the entire season, lost the crucial game against the Philadelphia Eagles. As their hopes burnt down into ashes, who is quarterback Patrick Mahomes blaming?
The Chiefs were having a press conference after they lost Super Bowl LIX with 22-40. When Patrick Mahomes was asked about losing the game to the Eagles, he expressed, “Yeah, I mean, credit to the Eagles, man. They played better than us from start to finish. We didn’t start how we wanted to.”
Disappointed Patrick Mahomes didn’t stop there. He revisited the mistakes and blamed himself saying, “Obviously, the turnovers hurt, and I mean, I just kinda, I take all the blame for that, I mean, just those early turnovers swing the momentum of the game, and then they capitalized on them, and they scored, I mean, they scored on the one, and then they got a touchdown immediately after. So that’s 14 points that I kinda gave them, and it’s hard to come back from that in the Super Bowl. And so, just didn’t play to my standard, and I’ll have to be better next time.”
Well, Patrick Mahomes accepted his failures that resulted in turning the football over. However, he also needs to pay attention to utilizing the time in the pocket, which wasn’t seen this time. As a result, in this way, he failed to keep Josh Allen’s request too. The request in which Allen asked him to win the Super Bowl again after their AFC Championship battle, by saying, “Go get another one.”
Unfortunately, this ‘another one’ didn’t come for Patrick Mahomes, and we all could see that easily in the first half itself.
Vic Fangio came up with a perfect answer for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs!
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio had never beaten Patrick Mahomes. Eight tries, eight losses. But this time, he flipped the script. Without any doubt, Super Bowl LIX was a defensive masterclass shown by Philly. The Eagles didn’t just slow Mahomes down, they actually buried him, sacking him 6 times.
As a result, for Patrick Mahomes, pressure came from everywhere. No escape, no answers. By halftime, Philly had a commanding 24-0 lead. This happened in a game-sealing moment. Mahomes, rattled from back-to-back sacks, forced a pass over the middle. That was a bad move. So, delighting in the opportunity, rookie Cooper DeJean read it perfectly, snatching the football, and sprinting 38 yards for a touchdown.
The Chiefs never recovered again. To be precise, the Eagles never let them up. And in this way, Vic Fangio finally got his win, on the biggest stage of all. The Chiefs were defeated in Super Bowl LIX. And Patrick Mahomes made Super Bowl history in a way he’d never forget – by taking back-to-back sacks before throwing a pick-six, all within just three plays.
