"PUT CARSON WENTZ IN THE GAME" - NFL fans rip Patrick Mahomes for throwing 2 INTs vs. Eagles in Super Bowl

Patrick Mahomes has won the championship thrice with the Chiefs and been the Super Bowl MVP every time, including a couple of years ago against the Eagles. However, the Philadelphia defense dominated Kansas City in the first half. They did not have a single point until the two-minute warning and there was an instance at 17-0 when Nick Sirianni's team had more points than Andy Reid's team had yards.

That score came about after Patrick Mahomes threw a costly interception that was picked up for Cooper DeJean and returned for a touchdown. It made it a three-score game and looked like a turning point in this showdown.

That was not his only transgression of the first half either because he repeated the trick within the two-minute warning. The Chiefs had a chance to claw some of the deficit back within that period but Patrick Mahomes threw another pick. While it was not returned for a touchdown, it set up a first-and-goal in the red zone. A.J. Brown caught a touchdown pass with the Eagles' possession to make it 24-0.

Fans were furious and perplexed by the way Patrick Mahomes was playing. Some said that Carson Wentz should be brought in to relieve him. Here are some of the reactions from X/Twitter.

The reactions kept coming with some saying that the Chiefs quarterback is cooked. Some took a visceral pleasure in seeing him struggle given how much he has dominated the league since he came in. Others even went and said he was overrated. Here are some more posts from the social media platform.

"MAHOMES IS SO COOKED" - noted one.

"Patrick Mahomes looks like a raw hotdog. His play is even worse. Love it!" - added another.

"Most overrated QB of all time Mahomes" - said a third.

Patrick Mahomes' history still gives Chiefs' fans cause for hope

This is Patrick Mahomes' fifth Super Bowl and he has won three of them. In the one that he lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he threw two interceptions and no touchdowns. While that is not a good omen, he also threw two picks in his first-ever championship game appearance. The Chiefs eventually ended up winning the match against the San Francisco 49ers.

Even in last year's title game, he had an interception but led Kansas City to an overtime win. Therefore, history suggests that the quarterback has the nous to pull his team out of this hole still.
