The Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday night.

Philadelphia opened the game with 34 unanswered points, and while the Chiefs broke the shutout late in the third quarter, the deficit was just too much to overcome.

"Today was a rough day. We didn't really play well – any of the phases, and we didn't coach well enough," said Head Coach Andy Reid. "We'll learn from this – like most games when you don't do very well. You learn from it as a coach, you learn from it as player, and you move on."

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 21-of-32 passes for 257 yards and three touchdowns, but it was two interceptions – both of which occurred in the second quarter – that proved to be the crux of the game. Philadelphia turned both takeaways into touchdowns, transforming what was a 10-point lead into a 24-point advantage in the span of just seven minutes.

Kansas City couldn't recover from that point on, and as the clock hit triple-zeroes in regulation, the Chiefs' pursuit of three-straight Super Bowl championships came to a difficult end.

"Credit to the Eagles, man. They played better than us from start to finish," Mahomes said. "Obviously, the turnovers hurt, and I take all the blame for that. Those early turnovers swung the momentum of the game, and they capitalized on them… I didn't play to my standard, and I have to be better next time."

A bright spot for Kansas City was wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who hauled in eight catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Worthy's efforts were the primary reason Kansas City found the end zone three times in the second half, but it ultimately wasn't enough as Philadelphia never relinquished its lead.

The Chiefs will now enter the offseason with their collective sights set on getting back to this stage next season.
