At halftime of Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs faced a daunting 24-0 deficit against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fans couldn’t help but draw parallels to Tom Brady’s legendary comeback in Super Bowl LI, where he led the New England Patriots to overcome a 28-3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons. Many wondered if Patrick Mahomes could orchestrate a similar turnaround.

With the Kansas City Chiefs down 24-0 against the Philadelphia Eagles at halftime in Super Bowl LIX, social media users are wondering if Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes can script a Tom Brady-esque comeback to lead his time to victory. At Super Bowl LI in 2017, the New England Patriots made the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history as Tom Brady led his team to overcome a 28–3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons and emerge victorious 34-28 in overtime.

With the Kansas City Chiefs facing a similar uphill battle against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX, fans have taken to social media wondering if Mahomes can emulate Brady’s heroics from 2017 and lead the Chiefs to a third straight Super Bowl. “Brady comeback 28-3 vs falcons Mahomes 17-0 comeback vs eagles Both are birds,” a user wrote on X.

“Mahomes 28-0 comeback to lap brady all time,” another user commented. “Mahomes getting his 28-3 comeback with Brady on commentary,” an X user wrote. A user opined, “If Patrick Mahomes wants to be known as the GOAT, he’ll have to do what Tom Brady did and have a miracle comeback to win the Super Bowl. Tom Brady had 28-3 Can Patrick Mahomes have 24-0?”
