FOXBOROUGH – They teased you for a few minutes, but in the end the better team won and the losing team did what they do this year.
After an early 10-7 lead which had you the Patriot fan actually dreaming of what would have been a titanic upset, Patrick Mahomes took care of things in the end and led the Kansas City Chiefs to a 27-17 win on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. With Carolina surprisingly beating Atlanta 9-7, it brings the Patriots closer to the top pick in the 2024 draft. This isn’t normally what Patriot Nation wants to be discussing, but in 2023, there is little choice.
