  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Patrick Mahomes found Mecole Hardman for a walk-off touchdown in overtime on Sunday to deliver a 25-22 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers. However, this statement is not entirely accurate as there were multiple attempts at scoring before the final touchdown was made. Secondly, it states that Mahomes led the Chiefs on a game-tying drive at the end of regulation and then converted two first downs with his feet in overtime to keep them alive. This implies that he singlehandedly won the game for Kansas City when in reality, there were multiple players involved in both drives. Lastly, it states that Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP after this win. While he did have a great performance and contributed significantly to the team's success, it is not accurate to say that he singlehandedly won the game for them.

                        Patrick Mahomes sets the record straight with Chiefs doubters after Super Bowl repeat

                        Fox News Media Ryan Morik Monday, 12 February 2024 08:16
                        • Unique Points
                          • The Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl title in five years, officially becoming a dynasty.
                          • Patrick Mahomes found Mecole Hardman for a walk-off touchdown in overtime on Sunday to deliver a 25-22 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers in a thriller.
                          • Mahomes was stellar yet again, completing 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
                        • Accuracy
                          • It also marks their second win over the 49ers in the Super Bowl after beating San Francisco following the 2019 season.
                        • Deception (50%)
                          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the Kansas City Chiefs as a subpar team during the regular season when they won their division and were only second in yards thrown by Patrick Mahomes. However, this information contradicts itself later on when it states that something clicked for them during playoffs and they went on to win three Super Bowl titles in five years. Secondly, the article quotes Travis Kelce as failing to reach 1000 yards since 2015 but does not provide any context or clarification about what this means. Thirdly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that Patrick Mahomes is now part of an elite group with only two other players in NFL history having won at least three Super Bowl MVPs.
                          • Travis Kelce's failure to reach 1000 yards since 2015 is not explained or put into context, making it unclear what this means.
                          • The regular season statistics presented for Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are misleading as they do not accurately reflect their performance.
                          • The article uses sensationalism by stating that Patrick Mahomes has joined an elite group with only two other players in NFL history having won at least three Super Bowl MVPs.

                          The author uses language that dehumanizes the Chiefs' struggles during the regular season by referring to them as 'subpar'. The use of this word implies a moral judgment and is not objective. Additionally, there are multiple examples where the author quotes Mahomes saying things like 'Just know that Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs.' This statement is biased because it suggests that Mahomes' success in overcoming adversity means he should be viewed as invincible.
                          • But in their next two games, they were road underdogs against the Buffalo Bills and top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. They won both of those games.
                            • "Just know that Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs," he said. "Just know that.'
                              • Throughout the regular season, people were wondering what the heck was wrong with the Kansas City Chiefs?
