NFL legend Tom Brady witnessed how Jalen Hurtsâ Philadelphia Eagles destroyed Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs en route to a comfortable, 40-22 win in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
With the Eagles win practically sealed in the fourth quarter, Brady warned that this brutal loss will probably remain in Mahomes and the Chiefsâ memory longer than their Super Bowl wins, based on his own experience in the NFL.
âIt hurts to lose this game,â Brady said during the FOX broadcast, via Matt Geagan of WBZ News. âWe lost to the Giants in 2007. That was 17 years ago. We were on the precipice of history and we faced a Giants team that played their hearts out that day and beat us.
âI still havenât really lived it down, because you care so deeply. And I know that this Chiefs team does as well. Patrick is the ultimate competitor. The reality of a loss in this game is you donât ever get over them.â
