The Kansas City Chiefs are watching their three-peat hopes painfully slip through their fingers after a tough first half in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Chiefs' offense has been unable to make anything happen through two quarters and experienced a low point when quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a brutal pick-six in the second quarter, increasing their deficit to 17-0.
FOX reporter Erin Andrews detailed the dampened mood on the Chiefs sideline after that costly play and mentioned that Mahomes and Kelce shared a brief pep talk afterward.
"The sidelines were pretty calm and cool when they were down 10-0, but then of course the pick-six, and we're seeing different emotions," Andrews said. "This was Patrick Mahomes when Travis Kelce was trying to talk to him on the sidelines, and he said over and over, 'I got it, I got it.'"

Andrews added that Creed Humphrey was screaming at the offensive line, which has so far allowed three sacks on Mahomes.
If nothing changes at halftime, the Chiefs could be in for a long night ahead. Mahomes and Kelce have been off all game, with Kelce failing to register a catch on two targets and Mahomes throwing for just 24 yards and two interceptions.
