Tavia Hunt, wife of Kansas City Chiefs co-owner and CEO Clark Hunt, shared a heartfelt Instagram post following the Chiefs’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

The Eagles beat the Chiefs 44-22 in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles defense sacked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and forced three turnovers, one of which resulted in a defensive score. It also ended Mahomes’ streak of 297-straight passes without an interception.

After the game, Mahomes gave credit to the Eagles for securing their second Super Bowl win since 2018. The Eagles lost to the Chiefs two years ago in Super Bowl LVII. “The turnovers hurt. I take all the blame for that. I didn’t play to my standard,” Mahomes told reporters during a post-game press conference.

The day after the Chiefs failed to complete their quest of becoming the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, Hunt thanked Chiefs fans for being “the best fans” while expressing how important it is to keep Jesus the number one focus.

“Heartbroken, but so incredibly grateful.🙏🏼,” Hunt posted on Instagram. “This season, this journey, and all the joy along the way have been a blessing. Chiefs Kingdom, you are the best fans. We don’t hang our heads—and we take the high road. Adversity makes us stronger, and we will lean in, learn, and grow from it.”

Hunt shared her gratitude for the Chiefs organization, which she described as a “football family.” Hunt included Super Bowl LIX host city New Orleans and Chiefs fans in her thanks as well, saying, “I’m also thankful for those who worked tirelessly to ensure a safe and well-planned weekend…and to all the fans, friends, and family who traveled to support us.”
