Regardless of the outcome for the Kansas City Chiefs, it was hard to act like a sore loser.
Because regardless of which team you were playing or rooting for in Super Bowl LV, you kind of just have to tip your cap to seven-time champion Tom Brady.
That was the case for opposing quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce on Sunday following the Chiefs’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-9.
The former praised Brady while congratulating him on yet another Super Bowl MVP performance. Here’s a transcript from the NFL Films video of their mic’d up encounter:
Kelce: “Hi big guy. I had a feeling you’d figure it out. Congratulations, big guy.”
Brady: “You’re unbelievable.”
Kelce: “That’s you. That’s you. Congrats on seven, man.”
Real recognize real.
