On Sunday, Feb. 9, the Chiefs were dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The team was going for a history-making “three-peat” after winning the Super Bowl in 2023 and 2024, but quickly realized the task was out of their grasp. The Chiefs went into halftime without any points on the board and struggled in the second half to end the game with a losing score of 22-40.
In a press conference after the defeat, Mahomes told reporters, “Anytime you lose the Super Bowl, it’s the worst feeling in the world. It’ll stick with you for the rest of your career… They hurt probably more than the wins feel good.”

During the press conference, Mahomes also took responsibility for his own performance, saying, “I didn’t think I played to my standard just with especially the struggles that I had earlier in the season. There’s things I have to get better at and they kind of showed today on the biggest stage.”
He promised to take the loss as a learning moment, adding, “I have to learn from that and have to try to be better at the next opportunity I hopefully get.”
