The Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) have lost two in a row, and they’ll try to get back on track for the No. 1 seed in the AFC against a rejuvenated New England Patriots (3-10) team in Week 15

The Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) have lost two in a row, and they’ll try to get back on track for the No. 1 seed in the AFC against a rejuvenated New England Patriots (3-10) team in Week 15.

The Patriots are officially out of playoff contention, but it had to be encouraging to see the offense come to life in a surprising win against playoff contender Pittsburgh Steelers on “Thursday Night Football.” Bailey Zappe appears to be the guy at quarterback at the moment, and with only a few games left, New England must decide if it wants to build something with its roster now or prepare for a top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

It was an ending Chiefs players, coaches and fans were not happy about in Week 14, as Kansas City fell to the Buffalo Bills after a touchdown was wiped out by an offensive offsides call. Now, the Chiefs have dropped back-to-back games and their lead in the AFC West is down to one game. Can they get back on track?
