Dillon Francis performed at an afterparty for the Kansas City Chiefs after their brutal defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX.
“Sometimes you have to go back to your roots and DJ for 3 people,” Francis, 37, captioned a video shared via Instagram on Tuesday, February 11, wherein he detailed his experience preparing to DJ for a “last-minute Chiefs afterparty.”
“This is how it went,” Francis wrote over the footage, which showed him “preparing for 11,000 people, but then the Chiefs got destroyed and I was worried nobody would show up.”
“Nobody showed up,” the DJ continued, showing footage of an empty venue. “I even tried to get 3 people there to sing along,” performing to “4 claps” and a “pity whoo.”
Several people, including fellow DJs, flocked to the comment section of Francis’ post to joke about the matter, with one person writing, “It’s cool bro you’re gonna be big some day probably,” while someone else commented, “You’ll get em next year buddy.”
The Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX to the Eagles 40-22 on Sunday, February 9, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, losing their chance to be the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The Eagles, meanwhile, redeemed themselves after their loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 2023.
Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, unpacked the team’s loss on his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, February 12. “Going into the game I felt as confident as I ever felt going into a Super Bowl or a playoff game or a big game in my life … It just wasn’t our day. Couldn’t find a lick of momentum,” he said.
“I’m kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field trying to do something more than what I was asked to do,” he continued. “I wasn’t the best leader that I could be in motivating my guys, in keeping my guys calm, cool and collected. I put a lot of that on myself as the guy that’s been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and actually seen a situation just like this in a Super Bowl. It’s a tough pill to swallow, man.”

Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Chiefs, addressed the team’s loss to the Eagles while speaking to reporters after the game.
“They played better than us from start to finish,” Mahomes, 28, told reporters. “We didn’t start how we wanted to. The turnovers hurt. I take all the blame for that. Those turnovers swing the moment of the game and they capitalized on them. They scored on one and got a touchdown immediately after another. That’s 14 points I gave them. It’s hard to come back from that in the Super Bowl.”
