The Chiefs will have to wait at least one more year to end their Super Bowl drought after a heart-wrenching 37-31 overtime loss to the defending AFC champion New England Patriots on Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium.
Player of the game: Wide receiver Sammy Watkins provided an offensive spark on a night when the Chiefs struggled to move the ball consistently. He caught four passes for 114 yards receiving, more than the next two leading receivers combined.
Reason to hope: The Chiefs rallied from their worst offensive half of the season to score 31 second-half points and lead in the fourth quarter.
