Eagles answer Mahomes magic with 6 sacks, 3 turnovers of KC QB

NEW ORLEANS —

There was a three-play sequence in the second quarter of the Super Bowl on Sunday night that not only summarized the way things went for Patrick Mahomes but also the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Philadelphia had taken a 10-0 lead and the two-time defending champs were on the ropes when Mahomes was sacked by the Eagles’ Josh Sweat.

On the next play, Sweat bottled him up again. And on the ensuing play, the two-time NFL MVP was under such duress that Mahomes threw an interception that Cooper DeJean returned 38 yards for a score.

Six sacks. Three turnovers. And not an ounce of Mahomes magic.

By the time he was done dragging himself off the Superdome turf, and the Eagles were able to run the last seconds off the clock, Mahomes and the Chiefs were sent home with a humbling — humiliating, even — 40-22 Super Bowl defeat.

The six sacks were the most Mahomes had endured since LSU took him to the ground that many times in the 2015 Texas Bowl, when he was still at Texas Tech. The pick-6 was his first in the playoffs and ended a streak of 297 consecutive passes without an interception. Another pick and a lost fumble represented the second-most turnovers in a game in his NFL career.

It all added up to one of Mahomes’ most disappointing performances, too.

The Chiefs were trying to make history as the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, and Mahomes and five of his closest teammates — including Travis Kelce and Chris Jones — were aiming for a fourth ring in six seasons.

But rather than playing with poise and precision as they did in two triumphs over San Francisco or their win over Philadelphia two years ago in Glendale, Arizona, the Chiefs looked like they did against Tampa Bay on Feb. 7, 2021.

That was the night the Buccaneers blitzed Mahomes into oblivion in a 31-9 Super Bowl loss.

The Eagles didn’t even need to blitz to put pressure on him Sunday night.

The Chiefs managed just one first down over the first 30 minutes, and it came on their first offensive play, an 11-yard pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster after they had forced the Eagles to punt. The rest of the half? They gained just 14 more yards.

The result was a 24-0 deficit that already seemed insurmountable as Kendrick Lamar began his halftime performance.

Things were going so bad for Kansas City that even Kelce’s girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, was getting booed.

Mahomes wasn’t entirely to blame. The Chiefs’ offensive line was dominated by the Philadelphia defensive front, which not only sacked him three times in the first half but put so much pressure on him that it played a big part in both of the interceptions; the second one by Zack Baun late in the half led to another Eagles touchdown.
