Patrick Mahomes lost as a champion who can be more difficult to make like one

The lasting memory that Patrick Mahomes left the 2024 season of the NFL is that he finally lost.

He failed.

That, instead of continuing his persecution of the record of the Seven Tom Brady’s Super Bowl and established an unprecedented brand by winning three consecutive championships, Mohamses fell short. And not only fell short because his team betrayed him, but because he played badly and it was not what anyone, including himself, expected.

Mahomes shows grace and class

So, yes, bitter disappointment.

And you know how, in the midst of all that defeat, failure and disappointment, Mohamses handled the moment?

Like a champion.

He beat his beating, like all Kansas City Chiefs in that 40-22 final that was not as close as the score, and handled it as an adult man later. Like a professional.

Like a winner.

Mohomes looked for the opposite field marshal Jalen Hurts, shook his hand and offered congratulations. He also crashed to a couple of other victorious players of Philadelphia, including the offensive Tackle Lane Johnson, and then ran out of the field.

Even Tom Brady didn’t handle this well

Isn’t it a big deal?

Tom Brady did not shake Nick Foles’s hand after Eagles beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl Lii. Kyle Shanahan did not shine the hand of Andy Reid after the Super Bowl a year ago. It is the elegant, but sometimes the pain and frustration of the moment eliminate the sheet of good sportsmanship.

Because losing these games hurts. A lot. And Mohamses has now lost two of them, including one by Brady in the Super Bowl LV.

“Um, I mean, they both struggled,” Mahomes said. “There is no way to avoid it. Every time you lose a Super Bowl, it is the worst feeling in the world. The rest of your career will be with you.

“I mean, these will be the two losses that will motivate me to be even better for the rest of my career, because you only get very few of these, and you have to capitalize them, and probably hurt more than the victories feel good.”

Let that marine for a moment.

Losses cause a more durable feeling than victories. And yet, in the midst of this type of personal emotional cataclysm, Mohamses reached the podium to face journalists and answered approximately 14 questions more or less with patience and class.

Mahomes responds to emotional cataclysm

He talked about Jalen Hurts winning everything.

He talked about Travis Kelce that possibly retired.

And he went to his approximate exit assuming the responsibility of the loss.

“I put two interceptions,” said Mohamses. “I threw a pick-sick, and threw an choice that returned to the 5-yard line, and scored immediately afterwards, so when you give a team 14 points, especially a really good football team, a super soccer team from Bowl, then many good things don’t happen.

“And so, that is why I have possession of this loss more than probably any loss in my entire career, because I put us in a bad place, and although we put some statistics at the end of the game, those statistics did not do it ‘really matters, Because I had already lost the impulse for this whole team. “

At the beginning of the Super Bowl week, Mohamses was asked several times about his faith. And he boldly proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ. He talked openly about God.

He said he He wants to use Jesus as an example of how to live his life.

And, as expected, the enemies said it is easy to do when their team wins 15 of the 17 regular seasonal games and two playoff games after that. It is easy to be close to God when the breeze that the Super Bowl wins consecutive is on the back.

Mohamses Thank God even in defeat

But what about difficult times?

Where was the field of the field marshal on Sunday night while being fired six times? And where did this disaster left a game to Mohamses and his professed faith?

The answer to both questions is exactly where everything was before the game.

Apparently, God allowed the bosses to take one on the chin. They say that setbacks are a configuration for a great return. I think that is in the gospels somewhere because Jesus suffered indescribable punishment on the cross on Friday and died, but he did not stay that way for a long time.

Sunday’s great victory surely arrived.

Mohomes, meanwhile, thanked God after the loss of the city of Kansas. He thanked God “for every opportunity he has given me.”

That does not change the fact that the Eagles were better. Does not change the fact that Mohames went home with an L.

But neither did that loss change the fact that Mohamses took the reverse as a champion.
