FOXBORO – The Patriots were unprecedentedly bad on defense Thursday night against the Chiefs, surely driving Bill Belichick and Matt Patricia mad in the lead-up to a long weekend that just got longer.
Of course, it takes that type of performance to surrender 42 points in a loss to the Chiefs at Gillette Stadium – on the heels of the Super Bowl LI banner celebration no less. It was the largest output ever yielded by Belichick’s Patriots.
But wait, there’s more. The Patriots allowed three touchdown drives of at least 90 yards for the first time ever under Belichick.
