COMMENTARY
NBC is hyping Sunday night’s Chiefs-Patriots game as a battle for AFC supremacy.
Bill Belichick sounds like he’d assume finding a Big Y coupon for candy corn about as impactful as the outcome of the game.
But while the Patriots coach was typically drab when asked earlier this week if he felt like the 3-2 Patriots were playing for the top seed in hosting the 5-0 Chiefs (“I feel like we’re playing Kansas City.”), the ramifications of a loss could put New England in rare territory.
At 6-0, the Chiefs would be three games up on New England for the top seed in the AFC, and also hold the head-to-head card as well.
