Super Bowl 2025: Rumi Carter Makes Rare Appearance With Jay-Z and Blue Ivy
Patrick Mahomes is looking at the road ahead.
After the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback and his team were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles Feb. 9 during the 2025 Super Bowl, he shared his thoughts on the historic game.
"Appreciate all the love and support from #ChiefsKingdom," he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Feb. 9. "I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it. Want to give thanks to God for every opportunity he has given me. We will be back."
During a post-game press conference, Patrick also weighed in on speculation that this game would be one of his teammate Travis Kelce's last as a tight end, addressing questions about a possible retirement.
"He knows he still has a lot of football left in him," Patrick told reporters. "You can see it. He always makes plays in the biggest moments, but it’s if he wants to put in that grind because it’s a grind to go out there and play 20 games and get to the Super Bowl. He’s done enough to be a gold jacket guy and a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but I know he still has love for the game.”
And while playing in the big game is important to Patrick—who shares three kids Sterling, 3, Bronze, 2, and newborn Golden with wife Brittany Mahomes—it isn’t everything.
“It’s not about football,” he said at a Feb. 3 press conference. “It’s giving glory to God for being able to walk around, to live my life, to have a beautiful family, to be able to have impact on others. And I'm gonna use this stage and that platform, win or lose, to give glory back to him.”
Though Patrick’s spirituality is his ultimate aim, he certainly geared up for Super Bowl LIX by encouraging the Chiefs to stay mentally focused on the field.

“It’s just preparation and relying on your teammates,” he continued. “You don’t make the game bigger than what it is. You prepare for these moments your entire life and your teammates do the same and whenever you put all that work in together, you can go out there and do special things.”
He added, “That’s what we do, we continue to work and don’t make it bigger than what it is. Just play our best at the best moments.”
And no matter the outcome of his games, Patrick has the unwavering support of one superfan in his corner: his wife Brittany.
“Here we go again,” she wrote in a Jan. 28 Instagram post after the Chiefs’ clinched their Super Bowl berth with a victory over the Buffalo Bills, “so proud of you.”
Thet 29-year-old also touted her husband’s hard work and dedication after last year’s Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
“This guy never stopped believing in his team,” she wrote on Instagram in February 2024. “Through the ups and downs and all the doubters, never once did he doubt this team. He is a true leader and a team player.”
She added, “He continued to ask himself what he could do better to lead this team to the Super Bowl. I saw so much behind the scenes that I will forever be in awe of you as a person and a football player!
Brittany ended her praise with a heart emoji, saying, “I love you and am always and forever proud of you.”
