Breeland will be back for the Raiders game, so I don't think his absence is that concerning.
The secondary has proven to play well time and again under Spagnuolo, regardless of the personnel. The Patriots don't have a reliable speedster, which has been Sneed's primary coverage assignment, which will ease his loss this weekend.
The Patriots will likely attempt to run the ball with Michel and Newton while also attempting crossing patterns to their skilled but non-elite wide receivers. As long as the Chiefs secondary keeps their receivers in front of them, the loss of Sneed should be minimized this week.
