Speaking on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams, Omenihu made it clear that Mahomes is not dwelling on the loss but is instead preparing for an intense comeback.
“On a revenge tour,” Omenihu said when asked about Mahomes‘ mindset heading into the next season, per Fox News Digital’s Scott Thompson.
“Just extreme focus, taking even more control of the organization. We’re going to get my boy [wide receiver Rashee Rice back from injury], so that’s going to be great with how [fellow receiver Xavier Worthy] has been playing. Hopefully, we’ll be able to figure out the rest of the pieces.”
Despite starting the 2024 season strong-winning 15 of their first 16 games-the Chiefs‘ Super Bowl dreams came crashing down in a 40-22 defeat to the Eagles.
While Mahomes finished with 257 passing yards and three touchdowns, those numbers did not reflect the struggles he faced throughout the game.
The Eagles built a commanding 34-0 lead by the third quarter, pressuring Mahomes relentlessly and forcing two costly interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Omenihu believes that the loss, combined with Mahomes‘ competitive nature, will drive the quarterback to elevate his game even further.
“He probably felt like he didn’t have his best performance,” Omenihu explained. “And him being who he is and being the best quarterback in the league, he wants to come back and have one of those big seasons. So, I think it’ll be somebody that’s on a mission for sure.”
A History of Bouncing Back
This is not the first time Mahomes has had to recover from a Super Bowl loss. In February 2021, the Chiefs fell 31-9 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. The following season, Kansas City failed to return to the big game after losing to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship.
However, Mahomes and the Chiefs responded by winning back-to-back Super Bowls in 2023 and 2024.
