The Raiders held a 10-point lead at one point in the game but wound up losing the lead late in the second half and were unable to regain it. It will be interesting to see how the Red Raiders bounce back as they prepare for the NCAA Transfer Portal and get ready for next season.

After the Super Bowl, Mahomes admitted that losing in the Super Bowl has been a significant factor in being locked in and staying motivated.

"Anytime you lose a Super Bowl, it is the worst feeling in the world. They'll stick with you for the rest of your career. These (two Super Bowl losses) will be the two losses that will motivate me to be even better for the rest of my career, because you only get so few of these and you have to capitalize on these and they hurt probably more than the wins feel good." h/t Men's Journal

Mahomes had significantly worse stats during the 2024 season as it was the first time since being named the starter in 2018 that he failed to make the Pro Bowl.

He completed 392 of 581 (67.5%) of his passes for 3,928 yards with 26 passing touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The 26 passing touchdowns were tied with 2019 for the fewest in a regular season for him.
