The Patriots have allowed 40+ points just three times in the regular season since 2013:
Week 6 in 2018 vs. Kansas City
Week 1 in 2017 vs. Kansas City
Week 4 in 2014 at Kansas City— Matt McMullen (@KCChiefs_Matt) October 15, 2018
The good news, the Patriots had three timeouts and plenty of time…oh and some guy named Tom Brady.
With 3:03 to go in the fourth, Brady marched the Patriots down the field with a little help from his tight end.

Sunday Night’s game between the @Chiefs and @Patriots was the 3rd game this season in which both teams scored at least 40 points
There were no such games in 2017
The last time there were 3 such games in a single season was 1986#KCvsNE

Patriots have now played 12 games against a team with a better record since 2009. They have won all 12.
More impressive than 12-0: only 12 times over the past 150 games has the Patriots’ opponent had a better record.
