2019 AFC Championship Game: Kareem Hunt’s absence will make life easier for the Patriots against the Chiefs

After not fumbling through four collegiate years at Toledo, it appeared the New England Patriots had the answer for Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, as they forced him to fumble on his first career NFL carry in 2017.

But that certainly was not the case, as the Chiefs’ young back rebounded to shred the New England defense that game, and again proved the be a matchup nightmare in the team’s Week 6 matchup this season.

When the two sides meet on Sunday for the AFC Championship Game, however, New England will not have to worry about Kansas City playmaker.
