UPDATE: The Kansas City Chiefs have made NFL history for all the wrong reasons, starting the season 0-2 for the first time since 2014 after a narrow 20-17 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium on September 14, 2025. This marks a career-first for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has never lost his first two games in a season.
In a game that felt eerily reminiscent of the Super Bowl, Mahomes and the Chiefs struggled against a formidable Eagles defense. The loss extends Mahomes’ losing streak to three games, including the Super Bowl loss, raising questions about the team’s direction early in the season.
The Eagles, now 2-0, took control of the match with a standout performance from rookie defensive back Andrew Mukuba. Mukuba made a game-changing interception in the fourth quarter after Mahomes aimed for tight end Travis Kelce on a crucial second-and-goal at the Eagles’ 6-yard line. The ball slipped from Kelce’s hands, landing in Mukuba’s, who returned it for 41 yards.
With the momentum shifting, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts capitalized, leading his team on a 59-yard drive capped by a quarterback sneak that extended Philadelphia’s lead to 20-10. While Mahomes connected with wide receiver Tyquan Thornton for a 49-yard touchdown to close the gap, the Eagles’ defense held strong, recovering an onside kick to seal the victory.
Hurts finished the game with 101 yards on 15-of-22 passing, while Mahomes threw for 187 yards, completing 16-of-29 passes and leading the Chiefs in rushing with 66 yards on seven carries.
The Chiefs now face a critical matchup against the New York Giants, who are also struggling with an 0-2 record. This upcoming game is vital for Kansas City as they look to reverse their fortune early in the season.
Fans and analysts alike are left wondering: can the Chiefs recover from this shocking start, or is this the beginning of a troubling trend for Mahomes and his team? Stay tuned as the situation develops and follow Fox News Digital for the latest updates on this unfolding story.
