What Patrick Mahomes revealed about his rematch with the Eagles will surprise you

Patrick Mahomes can't seem to get over the Chiefs' heavy defeat in the Super Bowl.

The Kansas City quarterback admitted to having replayed the game several times, in which the Philadelphia Eagles dominated from start to finish, winning 40-22. The Chiefs trailed 24-0 at half-time, then 34-0 at the end of the third quarter, before saving their honor with a few late points.

The setback deprived Kansas City of a historic third consecutive title and left a bitter taste in the mouth of Mahomes and his team-mates, who vowed revenge.

“I watch every game to learn from it,” explained Mahomes ahead of this Sunday's rematch at Arrowhead Stadium.

Tensions in Kansas City ahead of Philadelphia clash

But the problems don't stop at the Super Bowl. The Chiefs got their new season off to a poor start, suffering a disappointing 27-21 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in their opening game in Brazil. The frustration was palpable: Travis Kelce lost his temper with Jawaan Taylor after a series of penalties, and Drue Tranquill blamed Chris Jones for a costly error. Despite this, Nick Bolton ensured that the dressing room remained united.

The Eagles, however, will be a tough nut to crack. Philadelphia, who swept aside Dallas in their opener, remain on an impressive run of seven straight wins and 17 victories in their last 18 games. Jalen Hurts, calm but confident, described this duel as an “opportunity” to extend the Eagles' dominance over the Chiefs.

For Kansas City, the stakes go beyond simple revenge. A second consecutive defeat would put the team in a precarious position. The last time the Chiefs started a season with a 0-2 record was in 2014 under Andy Reid, a campaign in which they failed to reach the playoffs. Mahomes, meanwhile, hasn't had such a start since… high school.

This rematch against the Eagles could already set the tone for the Chiefs' season.
