A high scoring back & forth with a legendary team ended the undefeated streak and legend of invincibility that has heretofore surrounded the new hometown QB.
To wit . . .
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS HIT WITH REALITY CHECK TONIGHT!!! PATRICK MAHOMES ISN'T INVINCIBLE!!!
This only comes as a surprise to the most diehard fanboys. And, to be fair, it was the best game that team has played all season. And, as usual, the Kansas City team looked better in defeat than all of their easy early season wins.

Football Climax Tonight
Brady-Mahomes I was everything we could have wanted
Brady-Mahomes I was an instant classic. How many times have we seen this over the last decade-plus? A team rolls into Foxborough riding high on its gaudy record and sparkling stats, and after 60 game minutes in the land of Belichick and Brady, slinks out, battered and humbled.
Showtime Shut Down
Chiefs vs Patriots recap: Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady collide in shootout

Road Loss Aftermath
Tom Brady leads Patriots by Chiefs in epic quarterback duel
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Sunday night's nationally televised matchup between the Chiefs and the Patriots could have been portrayed as a passing of the torch with 23-year-old Patrick Mahomes threatening to supplant Tom Brady, 41, as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. The only problem was somebody forgot to tell Brady.
As talkers and newsies attempt to recalculate Super Bowl victory odds . . . Hopefully, we'll have more for the (late to mid) morning update . . . STAY TUNED!!!
And so the losing streak begins.
ReplyDeleteScrew off!
DeleteEven the most cynical scumbag in Kansas City (TKC) said the team looked good. This was a great game. Next time the Chiefs will be ready and next time will be the AFC championship on the way to the Super Bowl.
So, we'll get'em next year. Again? Great!
Deletedefense is optional
ReplyDeleteso is tackling the quarterback when you have him in your arms
Lot to unpack here but I'll keep it brief for you losers.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, TKC totally wrong.
The Chiefs looked exceptional tonight and that outcome was just a bad break.
* The offense is now high scoring and has the ability to keep up with the best in the NFL.
* Room for improvement on defense but they did an admirable job keeping up with Brady and proved able to stop him more often than not.
* KC's specialty has always been special teams. This year it could be part of the missing piece that takes this team to the Super Bowl.
* Tyreek Hill is the fastest man in the NFL. Check you history, the team who has speed on their side goes far.
* Mahomes played well under pressure, he didn't give up and he kept KC in the game longer than any QB I've ever seen.
There is a lot to learn from tonight the but team is ahead of the curve and definitely the strongest in the league.
^^^^ +1
DeleteYes, this is probably the best team KC has had in 30 years. But that's not saying a lot for Kansas City.
A huge dose of reality was served tonight. You fans should remember that taste very well beings you have had it served to you more times than not. They looked like crap the first half got lucky on a couple of Hail Mary runs is all that happened. The Chumps met a real time tonight and got spanked and taught a lesson. Mr. Showtime better start playing ball and get the Hollywood shit out of his head. He hasn't been around long enough to even have a label above New-Man.
ReplyDeleteNow starts the "Wait until next year" talk by coach. The Chefs will possibly go all the way the rest of this year say 0-10. Another disappointing year, its been 48 long years since the last super bowl appearance, so wait until next year, again.
ReplyDeleteHell of a game. The playoffs will be this season and all the doubthers will look STOOOPID!
ReplyDeleteSorry.
GO CHIEFS!
^^^^^^^^^^ Yes and how many playoffs have we seen turn into nothing?
ReplyDeleteNow who looks stupid 1:13?
Don't be a spoil sport 1:29. Chiefs might actually win three playoff games this year.
ReplyDeleteYa gotta believe!
Great game , too bad that KC had so , so many starters out on defense . Mahomes deserves much respect as does our entire offence . Chowder BITCHES punks were lucky to get the win , wait until the playoffs at Arrowhead , , KC will then smoke the chowder BITCHES punks!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah guess the season is over, right guys?*
ReplyDelete*idiots
The game featured some of the worst officiating to handcuff the Chiefs... so many non-calls. The NE fans are some of the worst as well... several gave the middle finger to Hill in the end zone... who are their employers? Will facial recognition software be used?
ReplyDeleteAlso- a beer was thrown on a Chiefs player... such class!
Patriots were outclassed and outplayed and while the score will count- the Patriots will NEVER beat the Chiefs again with Brady... you read it here first!
Zero sacks! Hundreds of offensive yards... even with mistakes Mahomes outplayed Brady as Brady could not do half of what Patrick accomplished.
When the Chiefs get back their healthy players- the NFL will be on notice Look for a 14-2 team to take it to the House and demolish most offensive records as they show class and youth... neither of which the Pats have.
505, thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting how some people base their own hopes and dreams on how a local team performs. They win. They lose. Pretty sure the world goes on turning either way.
ReplyDeleteLike the announcer said, you cant beat the patriots with field Goals
ReplyDeleteThey weren't going undefeated...relax haters.
ReplyDelete5:05 - Boston is one the most racist cities in the country. Those Micks don't like Brown people. I'm willing to bet some N bombs were thrown Hill's way on that score. I have no issue with the middle finger but throwing beer on that guy is pretty lame.

ReplyDeleteLOL right trust Google huh? Hilarious thought.
The Chiefs are really cooling off just like the temperature outside. Just wait until December and you will see how cold they really are.
ReplyDelete@ 7:01 nailed it - the Chiefs lost!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in real life...
5:05, broadbrush, much? And, the entire state of Mudzoory was issued an advisory by the NAACP for blacks to beware when they travel to or through it. So, the "Show Me" Hicks are rayciss like those Micks, huh?
ReplyDeleteRefs were on the take. NFL needs to investigate.
ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest Chiefs games ever. Proved we belong in the running for a championship and covered the Vegas spread.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing these comments from all of you fan boy fidiots. Shows how stupid most NFL fans are. Find something worthwhile to be interested in, dumbasses.
ReplyDeleteChiefs were beat in every stat. Better team won.
