Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes Announces Super Bowl Guarantee After Three-Peat Flop

The Kansas City Chiefs’ attempts at history fell well short in their 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.

The Chiefs never looked like a serious challenge for the Eagles. Offensively, they were stifled. Defensively, while they slowed Saquon Barkley, they couldn’t halt the offense led by Jalen Hurts.

The blowout loss will no doubt burn all offseason given how close the Chiefs came to etching their names into the history books. But does the loss sting more knowing the three-peat was so tantalizingly close?
Not necessarily,” Patrick Mahomes said. “Losing the Super Bowl just doesn’t feel good either way, anyway. I was proud of how my team fought this entire season with the expectations that we had on us, but we came up short.

Now it’s how you respond, and hopefully, we can learn from this like we learned from the last loss that we had and try to continue to get even better because it’s going to take a better football game, especially for me, in order to try to make a run at another Super Bowl.”

The Chiefs must pick up the pieces as they head into an offseason while not being the Super Bowl champs for the first time in three years. Mahomes is offering a guarantee of sorts.

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 to his social media followers after the game.

While Mahomes didn’t put a time frame on when Kansas City would return to the Super Bowl, the franchise might face an uphill battle to do so next season. The Chiefs have limited cap space and face a number of roster decisions on key players such as Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and DeAndre Hopkins. The future of Travis Kelce is also uncertain, so there will certainly be a few moving pieces over the next few months.

The Chiefs were so close, yet so far, in their three-peat attempt. Now we aren’t sure if another team will get as close as Kansas City did to a historic three titles in a row again.
