The Kansas City Chiefs host the New England Patriots in what is considered one of the best interesting matchups in Monday Night Football at 8:30 PM ET at the Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO.
With all eyes looking at the decreasing offense of quarterback Tom Brady, the Chiefs fans would love to get back into the Guinness Book of World Records as the loudest crowd. Currently, the record was captured by the Seattle fans December 2 last year.
The New England Patriots may not have the 12th man to carry them into this game, but their 12th man could be their rushing defense, which is ranked first in the NFL. Absolutely, the Patriots (2-1) relied on their vaunted defense to bring those victories despite of the offense meager output.
Defensive tackle Vince Wilfork had to exert effort for the impossible to deny the Oakland Raiders last week for the Patriots to take the win, 16-9. Wilfork intercepted the pass at the goal line with 51 seconds left. Defense saved the Patriots.
Brady threw for 234 yards in 24 of 37 passes as he became the third quarterback to reach the mark of 150 regular season wins behind Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. The offense of the Patriots is having difficulties in scoring at the endzone.
With all the years have gone for the New England Patriots, it seems that age is catching up on Brady. His performance is at the lowest level since he became a starter. He needs to spark the Patriots in today’s game against the Chiefs.
Coach Andy Reid knows the toughness of the Patriots. He understands the way the Patriots prepare for this match. This is a critical game for the Chiefs (1-2) to get back into competing in the AFC. A fall would carry them into a 1-3 record.
Expected to play against the Patriots rushing defense would be Jamaal Charles, who didn’t play against Miami last Sunday. Charles is important to determine if Kansas City could break the tough defense of the Patriots, especially the running.
Knile Davis, the replacement for Charles, rushed 32 times for 132 yards and one touchdown. He has to navigate at the teeth of the defense of the Patriots tonight on Monday Night Football.
Surely, Alex Smith would need an extra mile of accuracy and efficiency to help his team into yet another win. He did find his ways as he completed 19 of 25 passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns against no interceptions.
