JUST IN: The crowd is already at mammoth-level…. *The two champions clashing tonight**Patrick Mahomes* just issued a statement vowing to *disgrace Jelen Hurts* of the *Eagles team* the same way he disgraced him in the last Super Bowl final. Who’s your pick to win tonight?

From what we’ve seen leading into this game, Mahomes has talked about rewatching Super Bowl footage to learn and improve, admitting the loss “sucks” but emphasizing growth: “In order to progress and be better next time, you have to watch and learn from it.”
He’s also praised Hurts repeatedly, calling him “a winner” post-Super Bowl and expressing confusion over why Hurts ever gets doubted as one of the league’s elite QBs.
After the Eagles’ win, mics caught him congratulating Hurts with a simple, classy “Congratulations, man. Go enjoy it.”
On the flip side, Hurts has been equally chill, treating this as “just another opportunity” against a “new team” on both sides, while noting his respect for Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo’s schemes (he even keeps notes on them in his office).
No trash talk from either camp—it’s all business, with the Chiefs (0-1 after a loss to the Chargers) hungry to bounce back and the Eagles (1-0) aiming to go 3-0 against KC since that first Super Bowl clash in LVII.
Mahomes is all about redemption through performance, not personal jabs. Should be a thriller either way—Eagles’ blueprint from the Super Bowl was pressuring Mahomes relentlessly (they sacked him multiple times en route to that rout), so expect KC’s O-line to be under the microscope.
