The Kansas City Chiefs are in dire straits after letting the Philadelphia Eagles get out to a 24-0 lead in the first half of Super Bowl LIX.
Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been unable to get Kansas City’s offense in gear through two quarters and threw a pair of untimely interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean.
The Chiefs’ offensive line was a total liability for Mahomes throughout the first half, allowing the veteran signal-caller to be sacked three times, and letting Philadelphia generate pressure on nearly every passing play.
Though the Chiefs have become masters at winning games in comeback fashion, Kansas City have likely dug themselves into a hole that is too deep to climb out of.

The Super Bowl LIX halftime show, which is set to be headlined by acclaimed rapper Kendrick Lamar, will give the Chiefs a chance to reassess their game plan for the third and fourth quarters.
Stay tuned to see if Kansas City can make an epic comeback to complete the NFL’s first-ever Super Bowl three-peat.
