Kansas City Chiefs looked totally out of sorts in the Super Bowl LIX game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The defending champions were outplayed on the day by a vibrant Philly and hence millions worldwide witnessed their dream of winning the 3-peat shattering. Famed analyst, Stephen A. Smith has paid heed to what transpired in the game and without any doubt hailed coach Andy Reid as responsible for the defeat.

Stephen A. Smith Criticises the Chiefs and Coach Andy Reid Following Super Bowl Loss
Speaking on First Take, Stephen A. Smith did not refrain from criticising the Chiefs on what he rates was a "horrible" performance in the New Orleans on Sunday night. He praised the Eagles for bringing their best when it mattered the most but failed to understand what went wrong with the Chiefs on the day.
“Listen y’all, that was horrible,” Stephen A. professed. “We understand that it was the Eagles’ defense… We get all of that. But, you threw the pick-six to [Cooper] DeJean. You threw the interception at your own 14-yard line. And so, you know, we’ve seen Brady rattled by the Giants. But what we didn’t see was that. We didn’t see you contribute to beating yourself.”
Stephen A. then moved on to evaluate the game plan Reid put together, seeming shocked by the lack of adjustments the head coach made throughout the game.
“Of course, for Andy Reid, it’s the worst game I’ve ever seen him coach. I’ve never seen Andy Reid appear so lost, so helpless. And that’s how he looked in that particular game… It was really, really, really bad,” Stephen A. continued.

Patrick Mahomes Not in Same Wavelength as Tom Brady
Smith also weighed on where Patrick Mahomes stand in comparison to Tom Brady following the Super Bowl defeat, and laid out that he is quite far now and in order to reinvigorate the debate he would have to win two more titles.
"To me, what Mahomes needs to do to get in the GOAT conversation again: gotta win two more titles,” Stephen A. laid out. “Because you gotta get at least five. And the reason why: you gotta overcome the two bad performances in the Super Bowl. In the Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay and now Philadelphia, he’s been outscored by 40. They’ve lost by more than 18 points both times. Only he and John Elway have that distinction as starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. That’s hard to overcome.”
