Patrick Mahomes Starts NFL Season 0-2 After Eagles Loss

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have started the 2025 NFL season with an 0-2 record, marking the first time in Mahomes' career as a starting quarterback that he has lost three consecutive games. The recent 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was a Super Bowl rematch, but unlike the previous blowout, this game was closer, though Mahomes was limited to 187 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception, alongside 66 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. Mahomes acknowledged mistakes in critical moments, including a key fourth-quarter interception, and expressed determination to improve as the season progresses. The Chiefs are also facing challenges beyond Mahomes' performance, with injuries to key receivers and a defense that has regressed, contributing to the team's poor start—their first 0-2 opening since 2014, a season that saw them miss the playoffs. Additionally, Mahomes has been notably absent from recent family events, highlighting the personal sacrifices he is making amid a demanding and disappointing season. Looking ahead, the Chiefs will face the New York Giants in Week 3, with both teams winless and eager to rebound.
