Say what you want about Brady, but he always gave his team a fighting chance. All 3 of his SB losses were one possession games. I think there’s something to be said for that. Mahomes collapsed and looked shook, just like he did against the Bucs. Brady never got shook, there were times he didn’t play well, but he rarely compounded his mistakes and would more often than not lead a successful drive when his team needed it if they were down. Mahomes had a chance to cut the lead to 17-7 before half time and get the ball first to start the second half, and instead throws a terrible pick that leads to a TD. Game over at that point. Right after he threw a pick 6 the drive before.
Brady had a better supporting cast because he took way below market salaries to help the rest of the team. Mahomes has a big contract and so do some players like Chris Jones. So they were playing some sub-average players on the OL.
That said, he threw both picks deep in his own territory so it's questionable play calling. Only 7 runs so not keeping the Eagles honest.
