Seems like Travis Kelce isn’t the only player of the Kansas City Chiefs looking in the mirror to comprehend to embarrassing Super Bowl loss. As his teammate, Patrick Mahomes reflected the same energy while talking to the reporters post-game, but his words mirrored Tom Brady‘s.
Up until the Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs’ quarterback was in the headlines for the possibility of dethroning the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Brady. However, Mahomes consistently avoided engaging in this conversation, and as he spoke to the reporters after the humiliating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he demonstrated the sheer inspiration he draws from Brady.
Any time you lose the Super Bowl, it’s the worst feeling in the world it’ll stick with you for the rest of your career. When you lose this game, it’s on your resume forever. A loss in the Super Bowl matters more than any loss you’re ever going to be a part of.
Patrick Mahomes, echoing the words of Brady from the Herd with Colin Cowherd show
"Anytime you lose a Super Bowl, it's the worst feeling in the world … they hurt probably more than the wins feel good."

Refusing to blame head coach Andy Reid or the officiating, Mahomes took the responsibility for the loss like a true leader of the locker room. He completed the game with 21 completions on 32 attempts for 257 yards and three touchdowns.
While speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, the two-time NFL MVP admitted not playing up to his standards and shared his realization of improving himself in certain areas before stepping on the biggest stage of gridiron next season. Though this defeat may haunt the superstar quarterback, he’s treating this as fuel to get better in the future and not let anything on chance.
Tom Brady empathizes with Patrick Mahomes’s Chiefs after scoreless half dooms them
After being scoreless till the half-time of the game, experts started getting a supposed picture of the outcome. Although the star tight end was confident about bouncing back, the Chiefs couldn’t close in the 24-0 difference of the half-time. Despite scoring 22 points in the remaining two quarters, Kansas City couldn’t overcome the failure of the first nine drives and at that time, Brady empathized with them more than anyone.
It hurts to lose this game. We lost to the Giants in 2007. That was 17 years ago. We were on the precipice of history and we faced a Giants team that played their hearts out that day and beat us. I still haven’t really lived it down, because you care so deeply. And I know that this Chiefs team does as well.
Tom Brady said on broadcast
Speaking from his illustrious experience, Brady understands that this loss wouldn’t be an easy one for the Chiefs to overcome. And even though Mahomes couldn’t surpass Brady’s legacy, he is an “ultimate competitor” in the Fox Sports analyst’s eyes.
