They finally did it. The Kansas City Chiefs went into Foxborough and defeated the New England Patriots. It wasn’t the prettiest game we’ve seen as fans, especially from the offense in the second half, but they got the job done. A win is a win, as they say.
As Chiefs fans, we shouldn’t undersell this accomplishment. Including the playoffs, the Patriots had won 21 straight games at home. That was tied for their longest streak at home in franchise history and tied for the third longest streak at home in NFL history. What that means is this Patriots team was historically great at home, for various reasons, and the Chiefs beat them while not having their best day on offense.
