DeAndre Hopkins somberly summed up Patrick Mahomes' Super Bowl struggles
The Kansas City Chiefs probably didn't expect to get clobbered by the Philadelphia Eagles during Sunday night's Super Bowl in New Orleans.
However, that's exactly what happened as the Eagles trounced the Chiefs for a stunning 40-22 victory.
Superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes was brought back down to Earth during the contest, as the Eagles' defensive line had him under duress for the entire game.
After the loss, Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins summed up Mahomes' struggles with a very empathetic explanation.
"He's human," Hopkins said (via New York Post Sports) of Mahomes, which is as relatable a reply as one can give.

We all have our down moments, and Mahomes had one of his on Super Bowl Sunday.
Hopkins was right to point out that even the greats aren't perfect, and we're sure Mahomes and Kansas City will brush this one off and be back in the big game one of these days.

Lane Johnson feels he's "getting close" to his peak as a player
The offensive line has been a big part of the Eagles' success in recent years and they have four starters back from last season as they try to defend their Super Bowl title. Right tackle Lane Johnson is the most experienced member of that group and he's set to be the oldest starting tackle in the league at 35. Some players are slowing down at that age, but Johnson feels like he's moving in the other direction. Advertisement Johnson dealt with ankle injuries for several years and said last week that he feels better now than he did when he was 29 or 30. That's left him feeling like he still has new heights to reach as a player. "I feel like I'm getting close to maybe my peak," Johnson said, via Reuben Frank of "As weird as it is to say, but that's truly how I feel. Maybe they need to do a Combine for guys 10 years [in the league], see how we do compared to 10 years ago.' The Eagles would gladly sign up for more of the same from Johnson in 2025. If they get an even better player, the offense is going to be a difficult one to stop come the start of the regular season.
