You may have heard it by now, but the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense is pretty good. In fact, it is the best offense in all of football at the moment. Led by second-year phenom Patrick Mahomes, the unit scores an average of 33.0 points per game entering championship week — and it will naturally present a huge challenge for a New England Patriots defense that while solid as of late has been inconsistent at times this season.
The first meeting of the season between the group and the Chiefs’ explosive offense was no different: while the Patriots kept Kansas City in check in the first half and limited Mahomes and company to just nine points, it fought back after intermission to score 31 over the final 30 minutes.
