UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, the Kansas City Chiefs have started their season 0-2 for the first time since 2014, following a narrow 20-17 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14, 2025. This loss marks a significant milestone for superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has never begun a season without a victory in his career.
The defeat is compounded by the fact that Mahomes is now experiencing a three-game losing streak, which includes the recent Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Eagles. As pressure mounts, sports analysts Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady have discussed the looming challenges facing Mahomes and the Chiefs.
The Eagles capitalized on a pivotal moment in the fourth quarter. With the Chiefs trailing by three, Mahomes attempted a crucial pass to tight end Travis Kelce from the 6-yard line. However, the ball slipped through Kelce’s fingers, landing in the hands of rookie defensive back Andrew Mukuba. Mukuba returned the interception 41 yards, setting up a touchdown for the Eagles that extended their lead to 20-10.
Despite Mahomes’ response with a 49-yard touchdown pass to Tyquan Thornton, the Chiefs could not regain control. The Eagles successfully recovered an onside kick, allowing quarterback Jalen Hurts to kneel down the clock after running back Saquon Barkley secured the necessary yards to finish the game.
Hurts managed the game effectively, completing 15 of 22 passes for 101 yards and one touchdown, while Barkley contributed 88 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. In contrast, Mahomes finished with 187 yards, one touchdown, and 66 rushing yards on seven carries.
As the Chiefs look to bounce back, they are set to face the New York Giants next week, who are also struggling with an 0-2 record. The urgency for a turnaround is palpable, as fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Mahomes and the Chiefs will respond to this early-season adversity.
