So the first half of the AFC Championship didn’t exactly go as planned for the home team. The Patriots dominated the first quarter in every way, jumping out to a 7-0 lead thanks to an eight-minute drive to open the game.

It got a little better in the second quarter, but the Chiefs still trail the Patriots at halftime, 14-0. Here’s what else I noticed.
