The 3-10 Patriots return home after a long weekend break to face the Kansas City Chiefs, who are fresh off a frustrating loss to the Buffalo Bills where an offensive offsides penalty stole the spotlight at the end of the game. The Chiefs are coming into the game with a bad taste in their mouths, while the Patriots are coming off just their third win of the season after knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football.
A strong first half propelled New England to victory as second-year quarterback Bailey Zappe threw for three touchdowns in his second start of 2023, showing signs of growth and leaving Patriots fans a bit more optimistic about the team's offense after season-long struggles to move the ball and score points.
