Patrick Mahomes felt emotional on the field at the 2025 Super Bowl.
The 29-year-old quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs had tears in his eyes as his team fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in the championship game on Sunday, Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The showdown concluded with the Eagles tallying 40 points against the Chiefs’ 22, representing the former’s first victory since 2017.
In a video posted on X by Fox Sports, Mahomes is shown emotionally walking on the field after the Chiefs’ defeat, hugging his teammates while glancing to the side.
The Chiefs started off badly on Sunday. The team surprisingly reached halftime without scoring and almost made history as the first team to be blanked in a Super Bowl. The Chiefs finally scored late in the third quarter when Xavier Worthy caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes.
By that time, the Eagles had scored several touchdowns, with the score being 34-6. DeAndre Hopkins recorded the Chiefs’ second touchdown late in the fourth quarter, raising the score to 40-14 aided by a penalty on the Eagles.
Fox Sports reported, before the Chiefs scored for the first time, that the deficit is the biggest since Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. “Retired NFL star Tom Brady commented that the Chiefs have struggled to maintain a lot.”
With under two minutes remaining, Xavier Worthy recorded his second touchdown of the match for the Chiefs.
The Chiefs have won four Super Bowls in the past, capturing their initial championship against the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. Since selecting Mahomes in 2017, the team from Missouri has secured three additional championships in 2020, 2023, and 2024. If they claimed victory in the 2025 game, it would mark their fifth Super Bowl triumph and a historic “three-peat.”
Mahomes showed up to the major event wearing a green checkered suit, complemented by a blue tie and a white button-up shirt. The green of the suit resembled Eagles green quite suspiciously, also known as the rival’s color. He finished his appearance with a set of mirrored Oakley sunglasses.
His spouse, Brittany Mahomes, wore a stylish all-white ensemble. She chose a revealing white corset and a short white jacket with long, loose sleeves, pairing them with tailored white cargo jeans just under a month after giving birth to her third child. The wide-leg trousers showcased decorations and the team name printed in red along one of the legs.
Their children, daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son Patrick “Bronze”, 2, sported red-and-gold T-shirts featuring the footballer’s number 15 printed on the front.
