Ex-NHLer Roberto Luongo takes a savage dig at Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs over disappointing Superbowl loss

Former NHL goaltender Roberto Luongo took a savage dig at Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs after their disappointing loss at Super Bowl LIX.

Mahomes and the Chiefs' dream of chasing a historic three-peat was shattered on Sunday after the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a dominant performance at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The Eagles came flying with a commanding 40-22 victory, avenging their previous loss to the Chiefs in 2023.

Roberto Luongo took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to make a pointed remark about the Chiefs, saying:

"Chiefs been so bad they couldn’t even let the refs cook."

This marked the second Super Bowl win for the Eagles, having won their debut championship title in 2018.

For the Chiefs, it would have been their fifth overall title and could have made them the first team in NFL history to achieve a three-peat, with only nine teams in league history having won it back-to-back.

Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts was named the MVP of Super Bowl LIX.

"That’s what we all said in 2011 (But I got a cup last year) Sure you did, Lu, sure you did."

Another chimed in:

"Refs been on eagles side all game … and im not fan of either team but you can’t say Eagles haven’t gotten a lot of calls."

"Even Colin Campbell can’t rig this one," one X user said.
