As Patrick Mahomes prepared for a close Super Bowl, the Eagles prepared to blow him out. “All respect to the Chiefs, but I know who we are and what we’re about,” a coach told Philly’s defensive line. “And there’s no reason for the game to ever be close.”

The best scene in the Eagles locker room: Vic Fangio watched players dance to ear-splitting hip-hop, drink champagne and smoke cigars. He stood alone and ate a hot dog slathered in mustard while wearing Hokas a quarter zip. Elite defensive coordinator behavior.

The worst margin of defeat of Patrick Mahomes's career is 24 points, in a 27-3 loss to the Titans in Week 7 of 2021. He's only lost by more than one score five times.

For the fifth time in Patrick Mahomes's five Super Bowls, the Chiefs trail by at least 10 points.

“He’s just as important as me and Travis,” Patrick Mahomes said. About Chris Jones, the Chiefs’ overlooked pillar, and where his tears come from.

“Everybody kept telling me the most talented individual on our team was a kid by the name of Travis Kelce. But he fancied himself as a quarterback.”
