There is crying in football.
In the midst of their stunning 40-22 blowout loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025, Kansas City defensive end Charles Omenihu was shown by Fox cameras breaking down on the sidelines.
The sixth-year pro was on the bench with the Chiefs trailing 37-6 in the fourth quarter and he was consoled by coaches and teammates.

It was part of a rough night for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions — and Omenihu in particular, as he lined up offsides earlier in the game to negate a Kansas City sack of Jalen Hurts.
He spent the first two-plus seasons of his career with Houston.
Earlier in the playoffs, Omenihu picked up a sack against his former team.

It didn’t get much help from its offense, which turned the ball over three times, including a Patrick Mahomes pick-six.
