NFL Trade Rumors
The Chiefs were rocked early by the Eagles and wound up being dominated by the time was all said and done in the Super Bowl with a final score of 40-22.
“They played really good up front and really good on the back end, and we just couldn’t figure it out,” Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy said, via NFL.com.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says he plans to spend the offseason trying to figure out where things went wrong and how he can improve from his mistakes, especially when he gets off to a poor start in games.
“When defenses are going to stay back, I can’t make bad plays worse,” Mahomes commented following the game. “Sometimes I get to where I want to make a big play to spark us…They were going to make me be a fundamental quarterback. Play from the pocket and take what they’ll give me. In order to make a team blitz, you have to beat what they’re showing.”
“No, they didn’t show any different looks,” said Chiefs C Creed Humphrey. “They didn’t show anything un-scouted. It just came down to them coming out and playing harder. We need to step up and not let this feeling get lost. Make sure we feel this throughout the offseason and come back better.”
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught four passes for 39 yards in the team’s loss to the Eagles in New Orleans and said that the team played their worst game of the season. There is no word at this point on if he plans to retire or continue playing for three more years as he previously mentioned.
