Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs got blownout by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles opened the game with 34 unanswered points and the deficit was just too much to overcome for the then back-to-back defending champions as they couldn’t become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
It was a very rough night for a team used to winning and its impact is yet to be seen. However, on the aftermath of the defeat, there was one specific moment that highlighted how much the Chiefs‘ fate and spirit of celebration went away.
American DJ and producer Dillon Francis posted a story on his Instagram profile about a gig he got hired for at the last minute after Super Bowl LIX with the caption “Sometimes you have to go back to your roots and DJ for 3 people.”
Francis shared how he was preparing to receive 11,000 people to cheer on Kansas City “but then the Chiefs got destroyed and he was worried that noboyd would show up at the venue. He even tried to get three people to sing along but only got a pity “whoo” from one person.
People commented on Francis’ video showing support for him during this “humbling experience.” “Even the best gotta deal with situations like this.” “OMG, A DREAM. I’m so jealous of those three people!”. “This literally coulda been what they need to cheer up.” were some of the comments.
A bright spot for Kansas City Chiefs was rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy, who hauled in eight catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Worthy’s efforts were the primary reason Kansas City found the end zone three times in the second half, but it ultimately wasn’t enough as Philadelphia never relinquished its lead.
The Chiefs will now enter the offseason with their collective sights set on getting back to the Super Bowl next season. Their road will include nine home games against the current NFL champions Philadelphia Eagles.
Other teams Kansas City will face at home are Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and the Washington Commanders.
On the road, the Chiefs will face NFC teams like the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants, and some AFC squads like the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans.
