What does victory at New England say about Chiefs’ potential?

Nothing short of winning the AFC Championship will wipe away the disappointment of last season’s ending for the Chiefs, but on Sunday they got a measure of revenge on the team that knocked them from the playoffs, the New England Patriots. The Chiefs won in 23-16, and The Star’s Herbie Teope, Vahe Gregorian, Sam McDowell and Sam Mellinger talked about it from the Gillette Stadium press box after the game on Facebook Live now presented as a SportsBeat KC podcast. They covered the ever-improving Chiefs defense, Patrick Mahomes’ hand injury, the issue with the missing equipment before the game, and several other topics.Story links:The Chiefs beat the Patriots but suddenly that’s not enoughStrange but true: Chiefs defense was pivotal in turnabout against PatriotsWhat an odd year it’s been for Patrick Mahomes, yet Chiefs are division champsDefense leads way again as Chiefs beat Brady’s Patriots in New EnglandGood grades all around, especially in pass defense, for Chiefs’ victory over PatriotsThanks to our sponsor, Big O Tires!
