The Chiefs are the first team to beat Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in New England since the Carolina Panthers beat them 33-30 on Oct. 1, 2017. The Chiefs dominated the game but the Patriots hung close and Tom Brady had them on the cusp of the end zone when his fourth-down pass to Julian Edelman was batted away by Bashaud Breeland with just over a minute remaining.

It was Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s 100th career road win as well as the second straight loss for the Patriots, who fell to 10-3. Patriots fans can take heart, however.  New England also lost back-to-back games last December, when they came up short in Miami and Pittsburgh in Weeks 14 and 15. They wouldn’t lose again as they routed the Bills and Jets to finish 11-5, then beat the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams to claim their sixth Super Bowl championship.

The Kansas City Chiefs are without two of their leading rushers for their showdown against the New England Patriots. The Chiefs placed Darrel Williams on IR with a pulled hamstring and Damien Williams is inactive with a hamstring injury. The Chiefs have plenty of options in the rematch of last year’s AFC title game. Those include LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware.
