Because I think a lot of people still think that the Patriots have some kind of blueprint for beating the Chiefs because the overall record is 2-1, in favor of NE. You hear that silly narrative all the time, even now. And how the Patriots even kept it close in their last meeting, as if no one saw that Mahomes hurt his hand in the 2nd quarter and was unable to throw after that. The narrative is that Bill and his defense slowed Patrick down and prevented him from scoring another TD, which is just ridiculous. But that's what most of the talking heads are saying right now.
So I believe that Patrick and the rest of the team are invested in showing the world that the Patriots aren't in the same zip code as the Chiefs in 2020.
The Chiefs might have a let down against the Raiders, but no way they're going to overlook the Patriots. They still have something to prove tonight.

You are probably 100% correct, and I am overreacting. If we had easily beat San Diego with Herbert, I would probably not be worried at all. I know the Chargers have a great front 4, and they Patriots really don't, but I just want the entire team, from the special teams players that were a part of giving up a return TD to the Ravens, to our stars on offense and defense, to be focused on winning.
