The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs fell short of their ultimate goal of winning three straight titles, losing 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59.

The Chiefs had no answer for the Eagles, who were on a mission on both sides of the ball and made life tough for Kansas City superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes was under constant pressure from the Eagles’ defensive line as he was sacked six times.

The superstar quarterback tossed three touchdowns and two interceptions in the shocking Super Bowl loss. One of those interceptions was returned for a touchdown by Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean.

It wasn’t one of Mahomes’ best performances, as the Eagles’ defense made sure he did not have time in the pocket to find his receivers.

After the shocking defeat, Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins kept it real about Mahomes’ performance. “He’s human,” Hopkins said (h/t ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler).

Hopkins and the rest of the wide receivers struggled to help out their star quarterback, who was running for his life from the Eagles’ defensive line. The veteran wide receiver had two receptions (five targets) for 18 yards and a touchdown.

Hopkins’ touchdown happened late in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs were down 40-6. The veteran wide receiver also had a key drop late in the second quarter on third down, which could've given the Chiefs great field position to score before the half was over.

When your QB looks human, you must find other ways to help him. That falls on everyone, including the receivers, running backs, and offensive line.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid did not make the necessary adjustments as Philadelphia consistently got home with four defenders. In the end, those lack of adjustments did not help Mahomes as the Chiefs have several questions to answer this offseason.
