The last time the Patriots hosted the Chiefs in Foxborough, both teams were the class of the AFC. A lot has changed in New England and around the league since the 2019 matchup, but one thing has remained the same: The Chiefs are still among the league’s elite.
Kanas City has won two Super Bowls since that game in December 2019, with Patrick Mahomes capturing his first Lombardi Trophy two months later and earning his second this past season. Because of that, the Chiefs are still viewed as one of the teams to beat even though they’re 8-5 and have lost two in a row as they haven’t looked like the Super Bowl version of themselves as of late.
