  • The Kansas City Chiefs took down the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII Sunday night.

  • The star was seen watching the Chiefs' celebrations from afar well after his teammates hit the locker room.

Boston Scott couldn't bring himself to leave the field at State Farm Stadium Sunday night.

His Philadelphia Eagles had just lost a 38-35 heartbreaker to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, and the running back wasn't quite ready to face the reality awaiting him back in the locker room.

So he lingered out on the field. Standing all alone on the sidelines at the 27-yard line, Scott gazed at the ongoing Chiefs celebrations some 30 yards away through the tinted lens affixed to his helmet.
