NEW ORLEANS — If the Kansas City Chiefs are going to complete the three-peat, it’s going to take a record-breaking performance.
Going into halftime, the reigning Super Bowl champions are trailing 24-0.
In Super Bowl history, teams that trailed by more than 10 points at any point in the game are 1-43.
What’s the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history?
The biggest comeback in Super Bowl history was New England coming from 25 down to beat Atlanta 34-28 eight years ago. At one point in the third quarter, the Patriots trailed 28-3, before coming back to win.
Tom Brady, who was the quarterback for that record-setting comeback, referenced that major performance while broadcasting Sunday’s game.
Even this season there’s been only one successful comeback from a 17-point deficit in the NFL. And it was in Week 1. Chicago trailed Tennessee 17-0, before the Bears won 24-17.
The Chiefs’ comeback odds are very long now to say the least.
Going into halftime, Patrick Mahomes is struggling in a big way, completing six of 14 passes for only 33 yards with two interceptions.
