Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs fell short of NFL history, suffering a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs entered the matchup having won back-to-back Super Bowl titles. A win for Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX would have made them the first team in the modern era to win three straight titles. Despite the experience, they were outplayed on all facets.
