Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady reflected on his Super Bowl LIX experience and addressed the fallout facing the Kansas City Chiefs after their blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in a video posted on his YouTube page Monday (February 17).
Brady's New England Patriots lost twice to the New York Giants twice in 2008 and 2012, as well as the Eagles in 2018, in his 10 total appearances.
“You don’t sleep for a couple of days. You think it’s a nightmare, you really do,” said Brady, who lost three times in 10 Super Bowl appearances. “You’re like, ‘It didn’t happen. I woke up, it was a bad dream,’ and then you’re like, it sinks in. And ultimately, you get over it. I mean, acute pain, but then there’s that chronic scar tissue of making it that far and then coming up short. Giants, Eagles, especially when you’re the better team. In all three Super Bowls we [the Patriots] lost, we were the better team, not that day, but…”
Brady, however, lead the Patriots to an NFL record six Super Bowl wins, as well as his seventh -- the most by any player in NFL history -- with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Chiefs, their only other loss in five appearances since 2020.
The Eagles intercepted Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes twice and forced a fumble, limiting him to just 33 yards passing at halftime. Mahomes finished Sunday's game with 257 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions on 21 of 32 passing.
The Eagles are now two-time Super Bowl champions, having won Super Bowl LII in 2018 and made five appearances, which included a loss to the Chiefs two years prior in Super Bowl LVII.
