Andy Reid had clear message for Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce after Chiefs loss

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid asserted that he was still proud of his players after Kansas City suffered a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX .

On Sunday, the Chiefs hopes of a historic SB three-peat were ruthlessly crushed after Kansas City was dominated in all three phases during a 40-22 rout .

Speaking to reporters following the disheartening defeat, while Travis Kelce opted to flee , Reid conceded that his team didnt play as well as they wouldve liked.

Today was a tough day, he began.

We really didnt really play well enough in any of the phases.

We didnt coach good enough.

They did a nice job.

Im proud of our guys though for the battle and the fight they put in throughout the year and all the games theyve played here over the last few years.

My hat goes off to the guys for that.

Well learn from this.

Its going to hurt.

You get this far and you dont play as well as you want to.

It hurts.

From the very first whistle, the Chiefs struggled to find much of any success on offense, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes made several inexcusable errors while routinely under duress.

Philadelphias stout defense sacked the signal-caller six times and forced three turnovers - one of which was an interception returned 38 yards by cornerback Cooper DeJean for a pick-six.

Addressing what went wrong for the Chiefs against the Eagles, Reid said: Too many turnovers and too many penalties.

Against a good football team, you just cant do that.

Vic Fangio does a nice job with that defense.

Theyve got good players, a good scheme and they executed better than we did.

They coached better.

It starts with me.

They played better.

During a postgame press conference, Mahomes shouldered much of the blame for the loss after turning in one of the worst performances of his decorated NFL tenure.

The 29-year-old finished the first half with career-low 33 passing yards and 10.7 passer rating - though finished with 257 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions through the air after padding his stats with the game already out of reach.

Credit to the Eagles.

They played better than us from start to finish.

We didnt start how we wanted to, he said.

Obviously, the turnovers hurt.

I take all the blame for that.

I didnt play to my standard, and I have to be better the next time.

I threw two interceptions.

I threw a pick-six and I threw a pick that they returned to the [14-yard line]," Mahomes continued.

"They scored immediately after.

When you give a team 14 points, especially a really good football team, a Super Bowl football team, not a lot of good things happen.

Thats why I take ownership in this loss, probably more than any loss in my entire career because I put us in a bad spot..
