Patrick Mahomes also couldn’t control his emotions. The pain of the defeat was all over his face. But he still hugged his teammate DT Mike Pennel, trying to stay strong. The DT tried to console him, but he was lost.

Just before halftime, the Grim Reaper made a pass to the WR DeAndre Hopkins. But he failed to hold on to the ball. As soon as the ball slipped out, their DT Chris Jones kneeled on the sidelines in frustration. They were totally crushed in the game.

It was the same scene in the VIP arena. Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes stood in disbelief. It became a crazy situation in the stadium, and even the fans booed her. However, Serena Williams came to her rescue, telling her to stay strong.

The Birds then extended their lead to 34-0. Travis Kelce tried to rally his quarterback and teammates, but his efforts were in vain. With 34 seconds left in the third quarter, rookie receiver Xavier Worthy finally put the Chiefs on the board with a touchdown.

But once the score reached 40-6 with eight minutes remaining, desperation set in for the Chiefs. They rushed their plays, but the deficit was insurmountable. In the end, they fell 22-40, breaking the hearts of their fans.

As the game ended, Travis Kelce left the stadium alone. Dressed in a brown satin shirt and trousers, he walked out casually, with no one by his side. No one had anticipated such a brutal defeat. Many fans believe this may have been the final Super Bowl of his career.
