| The Pats were victimized in a stunning 27 point comeback by a Chiefs team most people have forgotten - the only tournament entrant since 1968 and a team I took pretty lightly in all honesty. The Pats utterly dominated the first half, rolling to a 27 - 0 margin that turned into a deficit by the begining of the 4th quarter. KC's first play from scrimmage in the second was a 61 yard TD pass. The second play from scrimmage was a Tom Brady interception, that shortly turned into another KC TD. Brady turned cold, and Dante Hall took a punt return the distance for a third TD in the quarter. Another Chiefs drive took a lead they would not relinquish, as they added a 5th TD in the final period, and held on after the Pats got remotivated to pull within 2 on a pass to Murdering Aaron Hernandez. The two point attempt failed, and that settled that. Trent Green is a ferocious passer....in 2003. Not before. Not after. This team has a soft defense, but is pretty dangerous if they can manage a few stops |
