    The Kansas City Chiefs failed to capture their third consecutive Super Bowl title on Sunday, but there was one player that added a ring to his hand for the third straight time.

    Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Darian Kinnard was the one who hit the jackpot. He served as the backup to tackle Lane Johnson, and with the team’s Super Bowl LIX win, Kinnard won his third consecutive ring.

    Kinnard spent the last two seasons with the Chiefs and earned rings from their Super Bowl wins in 2022 and 2023. With the Eagles’ win, he became the second player in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowl titles. The other was former linebacker Ken Norton Jr., according to On3 Sports.

    Norton played during the Dallas Cowboys’ back-to-back title reign in the 1992 and 1993 seasons, then won his third with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994.

    The lineman talked to the New York Post before his pursuit of another ring. Kinnard said he was “spoiled” when it came to his winning ways.

    Kinnard, 25, was a standout offensive lineman at Kentucky before he decided to turn pro. The Chiefs selected him in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He made one appearance for the Chiefs in his rookie season and none in his sophomore season.

    Kinnard was assigned to the Chiefs’ practice squad during the 2023 season, and the Eagles signed him on Feb. 20, 2024.

    The Eagles got off to a strong start on Sunday and built a 24-0 first half lead in Super Bowl LIX. Philadelphia would never look back and cruised to a 40-22 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs — the team that had won the two previous Super Bowls.

    Three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes faced pressure throughout the game, with Eagles defenders sacking the quarterback six times. Mahomes also threw a pick-six in the first half which brought the score to 17-0 following a successful point after attempt.

    Chiefs fans have had their fair share of celebrations in recent years, and many believed the team could pull off the first-ever streak of three straight Super Bowl titles. Instead, the Eagles earned the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy for just the second time in franchise history.

    “Everybody is very somber. A lot of people have left. Once it started going downhill, but the true fans are going to stick it out with us,” one person told WHO-13 news in reference to a local watch party where groups of Chiefs fans gathered.

    “And I’m disappointed in the Chiefs’ fans that left. I’m like, you know, if you’re a fan, be a fan. Stay true to the end,” another fan told the outlet. “A lot of people left early. So, I feel like those people shouldn’t be allowed back here in the future.”

    Pictures from a watch party at Kansas City’s Power and Light District showed a sparse number of fans remaining with just under ten minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the game.

    Earlier in the game, some Chiefs fans did seem to try to hold on the hope that Kansas City would be able to manufacture a comeback.

    “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?” a social media user opined on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Brady helped the New England Patriots overcome a 25-point deficit in an overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

    Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner and FOX Sports lead analyst, was in the broadcast booth for Super Bowl LIX. Lead FOX NFL voice Kevin Burkhardt along with reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi and rules analyst Mike Pereira, made up the rest of the broadcast team.
