Patrick Mahomes’ journey to NFL greatness has seen few stumbles, making his rare defeats particularly noteworthy.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, already boasting three Super Bowl rings, continues his pursuit of a fourth championship.
Yet one particular loss stands out in his impressive career – Super Bowl LV against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2020 COVID-19 season, where the Bucs dominated in a 31-9 victory to claim their second Super Bowl title.
Recently, The MMQB’s Albert Breer revealed that when asked about his most haunting loss, Mahomes didn’t hesitate to point to that Tampa Bay defeat.
It’s a telling admission from a quarterback who’s experienced just 26 losses throughout his career, highlighting how deeply that Super Bowl setback resonates with him.
“Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes asked if there’s a loss that keeps him up at night: “The Super Bowl vs. Tampa. Pretty easy.”” Breer shared.
For someone who consistently chases Lombardi Trophies, that game represents a rare missed opportunity at football’s highest stage.
The numbers tell part of the story – Mahomes completed 26 of 49 passes for 270 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns.
But statistics don’t capture the full picture of his struggles that night. The Buccaneers’ defense applied relentless pressure, exploiting a Chiefs offensive line plagued by injuries and forced to start four backups.
Mahomes spent most of the game scrambling, trying to escape Tampa’s aggressive defensive front.
While the Chiefs have generally held the upper hand against the Buccaneers, winning three of their other matchups, that Super Bowl victory remains Tampa Bay’s crowning achievement in the rivalry.
As Mahomes prepares for his fifth Super Bowl appearance, that rare championship loss continues to fuel his competitive drive.
