Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs conquered the Philadelphia Eagles to win it all in the Super Bowl. While a majority of the NFL fanbase was rooting against them, they proved all the naysayers wrong with their resilient march toward a Lombardi trophy. Furthermore, after winning the Super Bowl, the Chiefs have earned the right to celebrate and brag and brag is what they did.
At their celebration parade, the Chiefs’ players had their own way of celebrating the Super Bowl. During the victory parade in Kansas, Mahomes himself addressed the public in a slightly inebriated state and sent out a strong message to the naysayers. Furthermore, the O-line of the Chiefs also had a message for the Eagles as well as anyone who opposed the Chiefs.

Mahomes’ teammates had interesting shirts on during the victory parade. The members of the O-line wore t-shirts with a taunting message. The shirts depicted a huge message that said 0 sacks.

The t-shirts were the O-line’s form of celebrating and proving to all the haters that they’re undisputedly one of the best offensive lines in the league.
Fans were very intrigued by the celebration of the O-line during the victory parade. The NFL fans also made some excuses for the other team and had some varied reactions to the t-shirts.
Fans go off on the O-line
NFL fans did not hold back on their reaction to the t-shirts the O-line was wearing. However, the reactions were very mixed. One fan spoke about the players slipping due to the bad conditions of the field.
Yea, cause players were slipping all over the place! Mostly the D lines, and mostly, the Eagles D line!

Furthermore, Philly fans also drew a comparison between the difference in which Mahomes and Hurts are perceived.
So Mahomes OL kept him clean all game ?? When Hurts OL does that he’s instantly a terrible QB carried by his protection

Funnily enough, one fan predicted the Philly fans’ reaction.
Incoming eagles fans talking about turf when that would benefit them too

There’s literally 0 sportsmanship in the league now. Maybe a few guys but that’s about it

Chiefs fans praised the O-line and rationalised the reason for the bad field.
Chiefs only got one themselves. Both Defenses were at a huge disadvantage due to the inexplicably poor field conditions.
