Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a beautiful and classy message for Jalen Hurts after the Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the defending champions in Super Bowl 59.
In a game eerily similar to Super Bowl 55 against Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers four years ago, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were no match for the NFC champions. The 29-year-old was under pressure all game long, taking six sacks and throwing two picks in an ugly 40-22 loss.
Classy in defeat, Mahomes gave a heartwarming message to Jalen Hurts after the Eagles QB clinched his first Super Bowl championship.
“Go enjoy it,” NFL cameras caught Mahomes telling Hurts.

Cameras caught Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wearing banned cleats for Super Bowl 59 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Hurts and the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years, looking to avenge their heartbreaking Super Bowl 57 loss to the Chiefs. And it appears that Hurts isn’t the least bit worried about a fine coming his way.
As noted by Front Office Sports, Hurts is wearing Air Jordan 1 cleats for the Super Bowl against Kansas City. League rules outline that teams must wear black, white or official team color cleats:
Hey, as long as Hurts feel good and confident about his appearance in the second-biggest game of his life, what’s a fine worth thousands of dollars?
Jalen Hurts Looks To Avenge SB 57 Loss
Hurts had one of the greatest Super Bowl performances ever in the Eagles’ 38-35 loss to the Chiefs two years ago. If it weren’t for a questionable holding call against James Bradberry in that game, Hurts and company could be vying for their second title in three years.
