The Kansas City Chiefs were going after history in this past Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but they never came close to making it a game.
Now we know why the Chiefs lost Super Bowl 59, and it seemed to have little to do with the Eagles.
The Chiefs went from being on the cusp of history to looking like a team in decline within 60 minutes on Sunday night.
It turns out that their struggles could potentially be attributed to the team’s lengthy postseason runs over the past several years.
Henry McKenna of Fox Sports reported that the Kansas City Chiefs may have been dealing with some burnout after reaching three consecutive Super Bowls, and it greatly affected them on the field in New Orleans.
“Before the game, a Chiefs coach told me that media members had been asking him if going to Super Bowls ever got old,” McKenna wrote. “And he bluntly told me: ‘It does.’ There was legit Super Bowl fatigue from this Chiefs team. It was completely clear in the first half, when things escalated quickly.”

Social media blasted the Kansas City Chiefs over this lame excuse:
“And when you ask Tom what his favorite ring was, he’d always say “The next one” 🗿,” one fan said.

“Using excuses like this is why they’ll never deserve to be compared to the Patriots. Completely different levels,” another fan stated.

“Completely well rested in the AFC championship game but fatigued after 2 weeks rest in not even a full half a football. Yes totally makes sense,” a third fan stated.

“How is it even possible to get tired of playing the biggest game with the chance to win the Lombardi? Lol,” one fan asked of the Kansas City Chiefs.
