Chiefs beat Patriots 27-17 to thrill Taylor Swift, Swifties in crowd
Associated Press— This was a surprise look, even for the always unpredictable Patrick Mahomes. One of the best.” Mahomes passed for 305 yards and threw two TD passes of his own to help the defending Super Bowl champions snap a two-game losing streak, thrilling Chiefs superfan Taylor Swift and all the Swifties in New England with a 27-17 victory. And they’re important,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, noting that New England has lost seven games by one score. Flexed out of “Monday Night Football” because of their ineptitude — an NFL first — the Patriots seemed to have third billing on the day, behind Swift and her beau’s team, which has won two of the past four NFL titles and has all of the star power New England once claimed. Zappe completed a 16-yard touchdown to Hunter Henry, and New England capitalized on Mahomes’ first interception for a field goal that made it 10-7 lead late in the second quarter.
