FOXBORO — One after another they came, each piling on and building momentum for the Kansas City Chiefs while sucking it out of the Houston Texans last Saturday.
Kansas City forced five turnovers and gave away just one in the 30-0 rout in the AFC wild card playoff game, and winning that battle has become part of the Chiefs’ DNA, with a plus-14 differential that was good for second in the NFL in the regular season. But going against a Patriots offense that had the fewest giveaways with 14, it’s a strength-on-strength matchup for Saturday’s divisional round matchup at Gillette Stadium.
