It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I think he was saying if the game was played at Arrowhead then or September. I'd have to agree with that, honestly. That close of a game usually means home field can flip the result and the team stunk on the road during the regular season (and stunk outright in September). The Pats we saw two weeks ago were a much different team.
I think y'all are forgetting the way things were at the time. The Patriots were in the middle of a 6 game winning streak that included beating the Bears on the road the very next week. They beat the Chiefs with a field goal because they didn't need to score a TD, but they were well positioned to score the TD if they'd needed it.
Not to mention, I hate the "well X would have happened because Y happened at Z, therefore we can assume A etc" argument. Every game is different.. If they played at Arrowhead maybe the Pats kick their ass, or get their ass kicked or Brady breaks his leg walking from the locker room or Mahomes eats bad chili and craps his pants... we have no clue what would have happened.I think y'all are forgetting the way things were at the time.

That game was higher scoring, and it was played in Foxborough. It had 33 combined points at halftime, while the AFCCG only had 14.The game was played in October, with the same pattern of play (Patriots dominate the first half scoring, Chiefs dominate the second half scoring), and the same outcome (Brady leads Patriots down for game winning drive).
