They ran power and threw to Gronk. Brady is not the main reason NE wins or loses games. It’s about their defense, the running game and Belichick.

Brady/Belichick know the best way to contain Mahomes is to keep him off the field, and they're both good enough to actually pull that plan off.
But, I do see that, as always, chiefs' fans have the Pats right where them want 'em . . .

The odds are kind of stacked against the chiefs this year for no fault of their own.
They badly need to win at Foxboro in Dec. if they want that #1 seed, and even then, they very well might have to go 15-1 to tie that Pats for first place.
This Pats team is (obviously) not as good as their 18-1 team, but the schedule shakes out to where 19-0 is a real possibility.

That kind of raises a related point: the Pats actually may have a "tougher" division than the Chiefs this year.
Road game in Buffalo tougher than the neutral site in Mexico.

I'm not sold on Buffalo actually being better than LAC yet.
That's a lightweight schedule for Buffalo.
( and yes, same thing goes for New England )
And Miami is a tank job.
Jets are miserable too.
I think the Raiders and Broncos are 6-10, 7-9 kinda squads - like the Jets should be.
LAC probably ends up with the same or better record than Buffalo.
And Miami is 3-13 at best.
