The Philadelphia Eagles won their second Super Bowl after beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday. The Eagles avenged their 2023 Super Bowl loss and crushed the dreams of Chiefs fans of a historic three-peat.

However, Kansas City isn't the only one who saw their dreams crushed at the hands of the Eagles as Tom Brady’s Patriots suffered the same fate on Feb. 4, 2018.

"They're all pretty disappointing," Brady said after the game, via NFL.com's Edward Lewis. "I mean, losing sucks. But you show up, and you try to win, and sometimes you lose, and that's the way it goes. ... It obviously — yup, it sucks."

Brady threw for 505 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions. He led his team to a 33-32 lead with 9:32 remaining, but they lost 41-33.

Although Brady had cemented his legacy with five Super Bowl wins at the time, he was still hurt by the defeat.

"I expect to be back, so we'll see," Brady said. "I mean, it's 15 minutes after the game, so I want to process it a bit. But I don't see why I wouldn't be back."

The loss turned out to be his third and last Super Bowl defeat. He featured in two more Super Bowls and won both of them.

Tom Brady congratulates Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia Eagles

On Sunday, Tom Brady was sitting in the FOX commentary box and called the big game. While the Philadelphia Eagles recorded 41 points against the Patriots, they scored 40 over the Chiefs, becoming the first team to score 40+ points twice in the Super Bowl.

Brady congratulated the Eagles on their victory and had a special message for Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts.

"I'm so happy for you," Brady said. "Congratulations to you and your team. You guys played so well all season long, and there couldn't be a better Super Bowl champion than the Philadelphia Eagles. You led them to victory."

Hurts threw for 221 yards and rushed for 72 yards with three TDs. He went 17 of 22 and had a 119.7 rating.
