Kansas City Chiefs star Charles Omenihu had to be consoled by a coach after bursting into tears during their Super Bowl humiliation by the Eagles.

It was a chastening night for the reigning champions as their bid for an historic three-peat fell woefully short in New Orleans.

And it all got a bit too much for 6-foot-5, 280lb defensive end Omenihu as he sat on the bench.

With 9:51 left on the clock in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs 37-6 down against the Eagles, Omenihu was inconsolable.

In a clip caught by Fox TV cameras, the 27-year-old Texas native bursts into tears and is hugged by a coach, before covering his head as he tries to process the result.

Shortly after, the Eagles completed their 40-22 victory to ensure the end of the Chiefs dynasty, leaving Travis Kelce close to tears as he walked off the field.

The Eagles celebrated on the field in New Orleans, becoming the first non-Chiefs team to lift the Lombardi trophy since February 2022.

At the end of the game, the Chiefs players were quick to head straight back to the locker room, many covering their heads as they rushed off the field.

Jalen Hurts was voted Super Bowl MVP shortly after the game, while Eagles coach Nick Sirianni broke down in tears as he celebrated alongside his family.
