Ten Things About Tonight's Game: Week 4, KC 26 - Cheatriots 10

[duncan_idaho]

Great stuff as always!

One thing I noticed... they have REALLY established the tendency of ALWAYS running when Deon Yelder comes in the game, especially on 2nd and long.

Kind of have to feel like they have a deep shot pass play sitting in the drawer for their next big game (Bills?) off of that tendency. Possibly with max protect and overloading one side of the field with Hardman and Hill.

Great job by the Patriots defense. The Chiefs came out moving the ball early, and New England was able to weather the early storm. Holding KC to 2 FG early and also stripping Watkins (which was just a great individual play) changed the flow of the game. Let's say the Chiefs comes away with 13 points on those 3 drives... really changes the flow of the game and overall feel.

Same with the deep shot to Hill - which Mahomes missed by about a yard... and the Keizer deflection of the scramble pass to Kelce, which - if caught - might have gone the distance and certainly would have put KC in scoring range.

Patriots have some plays that way, too (the fumble that wasn't, for example).
