Super letdown: Patriots routed in 2nd half, Chiefs win 42-27

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Winning at New England when the Patriots are coming off an historic Super Bowl victory is worth getting a little wild over.

That's not the Kansas City Chiefs' style.

"We're going to enjoy the heck out of it," coach Andy Reid said after a superb second half by his team carried it to a 42-27 stunner Thursday night to open the NFL season. "It's one of 16 and something to build on."

Judging by how they won, it certainly is. There were big plays all over the field. The Chiefs, not the Patriots, were making them.
