Patrick Mahomes Shares Message With Chiefs Kingdom After Super Bowl LIX

In the immediate aftermath of a shocking blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback had Chiefs Kingdom at the forefront of his mind.

"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," Mahomes said on social media after the 40-22 loss.

The loss was even worse than the final score indicated, with the Chiefs getting some garbage time points down the stretch to soften the blow. But with a team with such big aspirations entering the season, Sunday's loss to the Eagles was nothing other than disappointing. When looking at this Chiefs' dynasty in its' entirety, it may be the worst loss they have suffered.

Mahomes was pressured and flustered throughout the entire contest. Despite Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio dialing up exactly zero blitzes for Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense, the Eagles defensive front completely dominated the line of scrimmage.

Mahomes battled all game, fight, scratching and clawing to give the Chiefs a fighter's chance to get back into the game. But at the end of the day, his heroic efforts down the stretch simply were not enough to help the Chiefs overcome a complete defensive onslaught from Fangio and his fiery defensive unit.

Still, Mahomes' efforts should not be forgotten. His teammates recognized it, even in one of the worst performances of his entire career.

"Stayed positive the entire time, kept fighting, led by example, played his tail off every single snap this game," Chiefs center Creed Humphrey said after the game.

Now the question is how the Chiefs can recover and move on from the loss. They have won two Super Bowls and made three trips to the big game since their last Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and that loss only pushed and motivated the Chiefs even further. The obvious hope is that this loss can do the same.

The Chiefs had the pressure of a three-peat weighing on them all season long, and on Sunday it came crashing down. Now, Mahomes and his team will have to pick up the pieces.
