Patriots hand Chiefs first loss of 2018 with dramatic win

Tom Brady has long dominated under center for the Patriots in both the past and present, but he and the Patriots took on their toughest challenge yet in 2018 as they went up against the 5-0 Chiefs.

The undefeated Chiefs went to Gillette Stadium holding two straight notable regular season wins over the Patriots, looking to add onto their streak.

Patrick Mahomes went into the game with a spotless 6-0 record as a starter, hoping to continue his dominant stretch as the leading man under center for the Chiefs.
