As usual, the score doesn't tell half the tale.
From Sam Mellinger at the KC Star: "A million things happened. Mahomes and Andy Reid and the offense stunk in the first half. Lots of calls were made, then overturned, or not. The Chiefs managed zero pressure on Tom Brady. They took too long to solve what the Patriots were doing on defense, and too long to figure out how to defend Julian Edelman over the middle."
In other words, Bill Belichick out-coached Andy Reid, plain n simple. Further down, Mellinger writes, "It was a statistical bloodbath." And it was. The Patriots did to the Chiefs what the Chiefs did to the Colts last week; total shut down in the first half. It was ugly. The Chiefs recovered some game in the 2nd half, but it wasn't pretty, either. And the officials - don't get me started.
Add one more year to the 49 since the Chiefs played in the Super Bowl.
