No one expected the Kansas City Chiefs to lose Super Bowl LIX the way they did. After a tough defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles, star defensive tackle Chris Jones has shared key advice with Patrick Mahomes on how to reset and move forward heading into the 2025 NFL season.
The Chiefs entered the 2024 season as heavy favorites to win it all. With two consecutive championships under their belt, they were aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row. But the Eagles had other plans, stunning Kansas City in the final game of the season.
The final score was 40-22 in favor of Philadelphia, but the gap on the field felt even wider. Now, Chris Jones has opened up about the blowout loss—one that few saw coming.

Despite Kansas City putting up 22 points, the Eagles controlled the game from start to finish. The Chiefs were simply outmatched, and now players are reflecting on the harsh reality check that could serve as fuel for the future.
Chris Jones, one of the vocal leaders on defense, believes the loss can be a turning point. He’s now passed on a key message to Mahomes and the rest of the team: use the defeat as motivation.
“I think you can use a lot of things as motivation, especially this past season,” Jones said. “The biggest motivation is making it to the big game and losing — not only losing, but losing the way we did. A lot of people in the building think we could have done better. We think we’re better, and we’re focused on getting back to the mountaintop now.”

Jones is confident, however, that the team will use that disappointment to bounce back stronger and remind everyone why they’ve been at the top for so long.
