Patrick Mahomes is taking full responsibility for the flat performance from the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

The Chiefs lost 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the game, falling short in their quest for a third consecutive title. Following the game, Mahomes said that he takes the blame for his role in three turnovers and that he needs to perform at a higher level.

"I just didn't play to my standard," Mahomes said. "I have to be better next time."

He expressed similar thoughts on social media afterwards:

Mahomes went 21-of-32 for 257 yards with three touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble. He was sacked six times for a total of 31 yards and the offense was only able to muster a total of 275 yards.

This was Mahomes' fifth Super Bowl in his seventh season and he and the Chiefs were aiming for a third-consecutive Super Bowl title. He now has a 3-2 overall record in the Super Bowl.

While it can be a setback, the 29-year-old has still made the Conference Championship in each season as a starter of his professional career and will remain a major contender in the AFC.
