Odd Stat

Chiefs have completed 64 passes in 102 attempts.
QBs have completed 64 passes in 102 attempts against the Chief defense.

Their secondary is average, their best player back there in Berry probably isn't playing. It's simple, give Brady solid protection and he will put up numbers. Offensive line plays like they did last week against a better front 7 and the patriots likely lose.

If the Patriots can contain Hali and Houston then we're all set.

More importantly, their D has yet to create a turnover so far.

And their RB tore acl in practice, so now if Charles is a no go, they don't have anyone to run the ball

I fear Kniles Davis more than Charles. Big brusing guy that just needs an opportunity

I think you saw that Joe McKnight ruptured his achilles in practice. Knile Davis is fine.

If you are a RB about to face the Patriots, you might want to play it safe (seems to be a theme so far).

*sigh*

Yes - that about sums it up.

But I do take heart in the factoid that the Chiefs D has not caused a turnover and that Brady has no INTs either

And I think Brady IS in fact cognizant of the need to spread the ball and work in the deep threat too

IF the line can get their act together I'm still actually confident that this Offense can do what it needs to do to win games and peak come the playoffs.

Which marks the first time a team has come into a Monday Night Football game at home 1-2 vs a 2-1 Patriots team with 64/102 completed both ways.
