Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me.
We will be back.

As stated, through all four quarters, the Eagles were simply in control. Following a ffirst-quarterpossession, Philadelphia secured their first touchdown with their signature “tush push” play in the endzone.
The Chiefs would get the ball back, but things began to immediately go awry. Mahomes looked unlike his normal dynamic self, and that was due to the Eagles’ pass rush causing all kinds of havoc.
Mahomes took six sacks and threw two interceptions in the game. Both stats were very uncharacteristic. What is even crazier is Mahomes dropped back 42 times and was blitzed on none of the Eagles’ defensive plays.
It’s understandable that Mahomes took the blame, as was not able to adapt in the way that he normally did.
All in all, the Chiefs ended the day with 306 total yards. Though that is not a small figure, most of those yards came during garbage time in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles had such a commanding lead, they were able to sit Jalen Hurts and put in Kenny Pickett.
Mahomes and company will need to go back to the drawing board. The Chiefs were able to make it to three straight Super Bowls but failed to make history with the first-ever NFL three-peat.
There are rumblings that Travis Kelce might also retire, and Mahomes also commented on that.
“I’ll let Travis make that decision on his own, man. He’s given so much to this team and to the NFL and been such a joy, not only for me to work with but for people to watch. He knows he still has a lot of football left in him. You can see it. … He’s done enough to be a gold jacket guy and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. … He’ll get to spend some time with his family and make that decision on his own.”
Whatever may happen with Kelce, the Chiefs can take this big loss as inspiration to return to the postseason in 2025.
