FOXBOROUGH – Enough complaining from opponents who claim that the Patriots get all the calls.
Despite the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs basically outplayed the Patriots for most of Sunday night at Gillette Stadium, it felt in the end that the officials screwed the Patriots out of perhaps 14 points, and in the end the 23-16 loss was more regrettable than meets the eye. Several calls went against the Patriots that turned out to be rather consequential, which in the end might have at least sent the game to overtime.
A loss is still a loss, and the Patriots are now hoping that they can at least finish with the two seed and a first-round bye, which is well within reach with three games left.
