Patrick Mahomes’ nightmare first half has Chiefs down big in Super Bowl 2025

Did Patrick Mahomes eat bad gumbo in New Orleans? Have a bad night’s sleep?

The Chiefs’ superstar quarterback looked unrecognizable during a nightmarish first half of Super Bowl 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

It was some of the worst football he’s played his entire career.

He completed just 6 of 14 passes for 33 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions against a ferocious Eagles defense.

He was also sacked three times.

And two plays later, Jalen Hurts subsequently completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown to extend the Eagles’ lead to 24-0.

The Chiefs entered halftime trailing by that score.

Hurts, by comparison, entered halftime 11-for-15 with 123 yards, a touchdown and an interception along with 25 rushing yards and a rushing score.

The Chiefs eventually fell, 40-22, and missed out on a chance to three-peat.
