The excitement in New Orleans was electric as Super Bowl 59 took center stage at Caesars Superdome. Fans from across the country had gathered, waving banners, donning team colors, and cheering in anticipation of an unforgettable night of football. Among the high-profile guests in attendance was Donald Trump, who had made history by becoming the first sitting U.S. president to attend a Super Bowl.
However, from the very first snap, it was clear that things were not going to unfold as Trump and many others had expected. The Philadelphia Eagles, with their disciplined defense and relentless energy, took control of the game early on. Their defensive line suffocated Kansas City’s offense, not even allowing Mahomes the space to work his usual magic. The Chiefs struggled to gain any momentum, their every attempt at an offensive play being met with fierce resistance.
By halftime, the scoreboard told a grim story for Kansas City fans: 24-0 in favor of the Eagles. The reigning champions had failed to put up a single point, a shocking outcome for a team that had been among the most dominant forces in football over the past few years. The stadium was filled with the sound of Eagles fans cheering, while Chiefs supporters could only watch in disbelief. Even Trump, who had arrived with confidence and excitement, found himself visibly frustrated as the game unfolded.
Despite a second-half effort from Kansas City, it was too little, too late. They managed to get on the scoreboard, but the Eagles had already built an insurmountable lead. Philadelphia never let up, and their calculated game plan led them to a resounding 40-22 victory. The defending champions had been dethroned, and the Eagles celebrated their triumph under the bright lights of the Superdome.
Yet, for Trump, the disappointment did not just stem from Kansas City’s loss. As the game progressed, one particular aspect of the Super Bowl had irritated him more than anything else: the new kickoff rules. Sitting in his suite, he could be seen shaking his head every time a kickoff took place, visibly unimpressed with what he was witnessing. At one point, he was overheard expressing his disapproval, branding it “the worst part of the Super Bowl.”
While the NFL had introduced the new kickoff rules with safety in mind, aiming to reduce the number of high-impact collisions, not everyone was on board with the changes. Trump, a self-proclaimed fan of football’s hard-hitting nature, found the new kickoff format to be underwhelming. He longed for the traditional approach, where returns played a more dramatic role in shifting momentum and igniting excitement. To him, this aspect of the game had lost its edge.
As the final whistle blew and the Eagles celebrated their victory, Trump’s expression remained a mix of disappointment and discontent. What was supposed to be a thrilling night of football had turned into a night of unexpected letdowns for him—his favored team had suffered a crushing defeat, and one of his favorite aspects of the game had been altered in a way he disliked.
However, amid the disappointment, the night still held historical significance. For the first time ever, a sitting U.S. president had attended the Super Bowl, making the event even more memorable. It was a reminder that sports, in all their unpredictability, continue to bring together people from all walks of life, from passionate fans to world leaders. While Trump may not have enjoyed every moment of the game, the Super Bowl remained what it had always been—a spectacle of competition, emotion, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
For Kansas City, the loss would serve as a lesson, a moment to regroup and come back stronger. For the Eagles, it was a night of glory, a testament to their preparation and perseverance. And for the millions watching around the world, Super Bowl 59 was another chapter in the never-ending story of football’s highs and lows, a game where anything can happen, and expectations can be shattered in the blink of an eye.

Vibes weren’t high on the Kansas City Chiefs’ sideline during Super Bowl LIX as they were uncharacteristically blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, though, was spotted walking down the bench dapping up his teammates, trying to keep spirits high at a time when they were at their lowest all season.
However, Mahomes is being scrutinized for seemingly forgetting to shake hands with one of his running backs, Samaje Perine, as he went down the line.

Perine had stood up, acting like he was going to shake hands with his quarterback, but Mahomes skipped him to talk to tight end Travis Kelce instead.
The video of Mahomes went viral after the 40-22 loss, with many wondering why he would pass up on Perine after going through the rest of his teammates.
Perine is a veteran in the NFL, playing his first year with the Chiefs in 2024 after spending time with the Washington Commanders, Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos in prior seasons.

Perine was used mainly in the pass game out of the backfield, hauling in 28 receptions for 322 yards and one touchdown for the Chiefs during the regular season. He had 92 rushing yards on 20 carries with a score as well.
Perine caught a pass from Mahomes in the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills, which sealed their victory and put them into their third straight Super Bowl.
While Mahomes never commented on what happened with forgetting Perine on the sideline after the game, he did post about the loss after the worst start of his career.

“Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom. I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We will be back,” he wrote on X.
