00:00We'll give you our reactions to what we think this means for the dynasty run in Kansas City.

00:06But before we do that, let's hear from the big man himself, Big Red, Andy Reid,

00:11on what this loss means for the Chiefs at this moment.

00:15A compliment to our fans and all the support that they've given us.

00:20Today was a rough day. We didn't really play well in any of the phases.

00:25Didn't coach good enough. They did a nice job.

00:28I'm proud of our guys, though, for the battle, the fight that they put in throughout the year,

00:34and all the games that they've played here over the last few years.

00:38So my hat goes off to the guys for that.

00:42And we'll learn from this. Like most games here, when you don't do very well,

00:47you learn from it as a coach, you learn from it as a player, and you move on.

00:52Donnie, I take Andy Reid at his word.

00:55Yes, it is the end to this historic run of the dynasty component for Kansas City.

01:01The three-peat goes out of the window, although they did make history as the first ever

01:06back-to-back Super Bowl champion to even appear in a third consecutive Super Bowl.

01:12Patrick Mahomes is only 29, and yes, there are going to be changes,

01:15but Andy Reid is going to be back as well.

01:19This era has come to an end, perhaps in Kansas City,

01:24but the Chiefs are going to have a lot to say about who wins the AFC in Super Bowls

01:29for many more years to come.

01:31Absolutely they will. Look at their season. The record, Ben, says 15-2.

01:35That's not really the case. Last game of the season, they benched all their starters and took a loss.

01:39This is a team that lost one football game up to the Super Bowl.

01:43And yes, there were bad breaks and bounces that went against them, but that's what they do.

01:47You provide your own luck when you're a quality football team, just like the Kansas City Chiefs.

01:51And Andy understands this. You can't win every big game. It's not a best-of-seven.

01:56You either bring your A game, and if you don't bring it, you're subject to get beat,

01:59and that's what happened in the Super Bowl.

02:01Did we anticipate it being down 40-6 late in that football game?

02:04I don't think anybody had that on their bingo card.

02:06But understand what he's saying. This is a week-to-week league here.

02:09If you don't bring your A game, sometimes you get beat.

02:11But also, the future is bright, as you said.

02:13You still have the most talented quarterback in the NFL, probably for another decade.

02:17And Andy Reid isn't getting younger, but you know what keeps you young?

02:20Having a really good football team and an organization that has 100% support.

02:24The one thing that Andy knows next year, he doesn't have to go to Brett Veach's GM and say,

02:28Please get me a pass catcher. Please get me another defensive end.

02:31They will make that happen before him, because when you're in that window of greatness,

02:35you tend to push those chips in.

02:37And understand this. I can't believe Kansas City won the Super Bowl last year,

02:41let alone even making it back to the Super Bowl this year.

02:43They're not the most talented team. They have the best coach and quarterback.

02:46Yes, they do.

02:47But they made their own luck and breaks by winning all of those close games.

02:51Eventually, that's going to run out.

02:53So, no shame in their game for Kansas City.

02:55And next year, Ben, when we start talking about the season and what that's going to entail,

02:59is anybody going to be like, Ah, the one team I'm not taking is the Kansas City Chiefs

03:03to get back to the Super Bowl?

03:04No! They're going to be right up there again.

03:06Yes, they certainly are.

03:08Because seven seasons with Patrick Mahomes as the starting quarterback of the Chiefs,

03:12they have at least played in the AFC Championship game in all seven,

03:16appearing in a Super Bowl five times.

03:19Already with three Lombardi trophies.

03:21But now let's hear from Patrick Mahomes on where he feels last night went wrong.

03:26You know, I didn't have to say much.

03:29I thought other leaders, Chris Jones especially, spoke.

03:33Like we talked about, it hurts.

03:37It's going to hurt for a while.

03:39But how can you respond from it?

03:41We have a great football team.

03:44We still have a young football team.

03:46And a lot of these guys will be their first time having a defeat in a season.

03:50And how can you get better?

03:52How can you not be satisfied with just getting here and taking your game to the next level?

03:56And that starts with me and the other leaders on this team.

04:00But it will feed throughout the entire team.

04:02And hopefully we can come back next season and put up a better effort.

04:05We expect Kansas City to do just that.
