Foxborough (dpa) – Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs won the away game at the New England Patriots after two recent defeats in the NFL and preserved the chance of home advantage in the playoffs.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes made two missed throws to make it 27:17, but also had two touchdown passes in an ultimately unchallenged success. With pop superstar Taylor Swift in the stadium, Travis Kelce had a poor game for the Chiefs by his standards, catching just five passes for 28 yards. The Chiefs now have nine wins and five defeats.
The team was unable to reduce the deficit to the Miami Dolphins because the team from Florida had no trouble against the New York Jets even without the ailing pass receiver Tyreek Hill and won 30-0. The Dolphins have ten wins this season.
In the NFC South, both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints won one game and both have seven wins and seven losses. The Saints won 24:6 at the New York Giants, the Bucs defeated the Green Bay Packers 34:20. The Atlanta Falcons, on the other hand, unexpectedly lost 7:9 to the Carolina Panthers, who had previously left the field as losers after 12 of 13 games. The Falcons lost touch with the division leaders with the same number of points and only have a theoretical chance of making the playoffs.
