Patrick Mahomes is on the worst losing streak of his NFL career. Here's why.

The Kansas City Chiefs, known for their fourth-quarter comebacks led by Patrick Mahomes, were positioned for another potential comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Trailing by only three points and in the red zone as the final quarter began, the Chiefs' hopes were dashed when a pass from Mahomes was dropped by Travis Kelce near the endzone and intercepted by Philadelphia's Andrew Mukuba.

Following the interception, the Eagles scored a touchdown on their next drive, creating a 10-point deficit that Kansas City could not overcome. The Chiefs ultimately lost the game 20-17, marking their second consecutive loss of the season and their first 0-2 start since 2014—the first such start in Mahomes' career. This loss also extended Mahomes' losing streak to three games, dating back to the Super Bowl in February, which is the first three-game losing streak of his career.

The Chiefs' offensive performance has declined significantly in recent seasons. In 2022, they averaged 29.2 points per game, the best in the NFL. However, in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, their averages dropped to 22.6 and 21.8 points per game, respectively, ranking 15th in the league both years. The team's roster construction appears to be a key factor in this decline.
