The Chiefs are used to trailing in Super Bowls.
But it may be getting late early.
Kansas City’s sideline featured “a lot of emotion” after falling in a 17-0 hole to the Eagles in the second quarter of Super Bowl 2025 after Patrick Mahomes threw a pick-six, per Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews.
“As you can imagine, a lot of emotion on the Chiefs’ sideline,” Andrews said on the Fox broadcast. “Of course, Travis Kelce with a couple of drops that he’s had today. The sideline was pretty calm and cool when they were down 10-0, then, of course, the pick-six, and we’re seeing different emotions.”
Fox then cut to Mahomes, who reportedly tried to calm down Kelce.
“This was Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce was trying to talk to him on the sidelines and he said over and over, ‘I got it. I got it,’” Andrews said. “Creed Humphries screaming at the offensive line.”
The Chiefs have shown resiliency during this dynasty era, falling behind by at least 10 points in each Super Bowl of the Mahomes era and rallying three times to win.
Kansas City trailed 24-14 at halftime in Super Bowl 2023 before they ultimately triumphed, 38-35.
As Andrews mentioned, the tone of this game seemed to shift after Mahomes’ costly throw.

While 10-0 is not a great spot, the Chiefs had the ball and a chance to make it a one-score game.
Mahomes then made an ill-advised throw that Cooper DeJean picked off and took the house with 7:03 remaining in the half to put the Chiefs in a three-score hole.
The star quarterback made another awful throw with less than two minutes remaining in the half when Zack Baun intercepted a pass over the middle to give the Eagles the ball inside the red zone.
Jalen Hurts found A.J. Brown two plays later for a touchdown to boost the lead to 24-0.
