I know I’m a worry wart but I’m kinda uneasy about this game.

That's residual "because Chiefs" bias. If you've been a Chiefs fan for more than a few years, well, we've watched our team go into a game that they should dominate easily and then somehow get spanked "because Chiefs."
I have it to. Still. It's straight reflex after 40 years of "Chiefs" things just happening.
What I have to tell myself some days is that Patrick L. Mahomes II is, as Jim, Rome said after LIV, "the ultimate eraser." He doesn't just erase deficits on the scoreboard, he erases deficits on the team. Even erases coaching deficits. Ultimately, Patrick erases doubt and replaces it with confidence. And then he erases opposing team game-plans. Both offensively and defensively. Both among their players and their coaches. He erases their confidence and replaces it with doubt.
Sp, I'm really not worried about this game, barring injury, because Mahomes is the Great Eraser. He will do what he always does and the Chiefs will play well.
Oh, and Hoyer is starting for NE, so there's that . . .
