In Super Bowl LIX, Patrick Mahomes' performance during the first half posed significant challenges for the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes completed only 6 of 14 passes for a mere 33 yards, accompanied by two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown by Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, contributing to the Chiefs trailing 24-0 at halftime.

This marks a rare occurrence for Mahomes, as it is the third time during his career that his offense has been shut out in the first half. Moreover, the 23 total yards recorded by the Chiefs in the opening half is the lowest in any first half of a game with Mahomes as the starting quarterback. The Eagles' defense effectively limited the Chiefs' offensive output, forcing a dismal average of 1.2 yards per play.

While the first half was undoubtedly difficult for Mahomes, he remains a three-time Super Bowl champion and MVP with a significant history of success, having reached the Super Bowl in five of his seven seasons. The Chiefs will be looking to make adjustments during halftime, aiming to generate a momentum shift when they return to the field for the second half.
