Patriots’ mental toughness, resiliency on full display during epic 43-40 win over the Chiefs

It could have been an easy victory for the New England Patriots, but the best teams hardly ever go down without the fight. The 2018 Kansas City Chiefs certainly are one of them and put up one hell of a battle on Sunday night. Down 24-9 after two quarters, the Chiefs and their high-flying offense came back out of the locker rooms swinging and scored their first touchdown of the contest just three plays into the second half.

And so it began: the Patriots, who had been on the other side of developments like this all too often over the past two decades, saw their lead decrease as the mistakes started to pile up.
