Welcome to the Chiefs, Patriots live chat. We will be talking about the game on here throughout the afternoon. Feel free to join the conversation and comment in the comment section in the bottom. The Chiefs are currently favored by 8.5 points. Finally, this all football talk here. No Taylor Swift. Not a fan of her or her music.

Great return negated by hold.

Patriots 1st possession: 1st & 10 at their own 13

  • Patriots run once, throw two passes and go three and out. Not the start you are ever looking for.

Chiefs 1st possession at their own 38

  • Chiefs know that the Patriots will double Kelce so they take advantage by hitting Gray on the corner route.
  • Kadarius “Offsides” Toney involved in the pick play. Of course.
  • Pats defense takes advantage of the penalty and forces the field goal. Good start for the D all things considered.

BUTKER 39 YD FIELD IS NO GOOD!

Patriots 2nd possession 1st & 10 at their own 29

  • Two yard passes isn’t going to get it done. Just saying.
  • That’s better. First down Patriots!
  • Deep curl by Parker. Great ball by Zappe.
  • Said in our game plan that the Patriots need to use stack formations. They did there.
  • Love the aggressiveness on this drive. Clearly the Patriots have found something with the crossing routes.
  • Keep compressing them and attack the middle of the field!
  • AWFUL CALL! Not surprised. Officiating is bad at all levels now soooo….
  • Patriots run it and settle for three.

CHAD RYLAND’S 41 YARD FIELD IS NO GOOD!

Chiefs 0 Patriots 0 3:35 left in the first quarter

Chiefs second possession at their own 31

  • Chiefs are going to do what any well coached team would do to bracket coverage. Use motion and misdirection to beat it.
  • Terrible reads, fit and pursuit angles on the screen.
  • Chiefs capitalize two plays later on the shuffle pass to Rice for the touchdown. BADDDDD series for the Patriots defense, especially fundamentally.

CHIEFS 7 PATRIOTS 0 1:30 First Quarter

Patriots 3rd possession 1st & 10 at their own 25

Patriots 4th possession 1st & 10 at their own 39 

  • I am all for being aggressive but this Chiefs defense isn’t the 86 Bears or 2000 Ravens RUN THE BALL!
  • That being said, big completion there and they get the penalty to boot.
  • I love that Henry is involved but where is Gesicki???? 12 personnel still the Patriots best personnel grouping.
  • Cole Strange is down and gets carted away. Tough loss for the Patriots. He had playing well of late.
  • Parker continues to be focal point today. More touches available with JSS out.

HALFTIME: CHIEFS 14 PATRIOTS 10: I thought this game would play out like the Eagles, Dolphins games from earlier this season and it has. Patriots are hanging tough but penalties have been an issue. Need to get a stop right out of the gate to start the second half.

Chiefs 6th possession 1st & 10 at their own 25

  • Rice has emerged as Mahomes second favorite target behind Kelce. Mahomes consistently looking his way.
