CHIEFS: Roster | Depth Chart | Stats | Roster Flip Card (PDF)
The New England Patriots will begin a two-game stretch against the AFC West when they host Kansas City this week and then travel on Christmas Eve to face the Broncos in Denver. Bill Belichick's 301 career regular season wins currently ranks third among head coaches in NFL history. Andy Reid's 255 career regular season wins ranks fourth all-time. This week will be the first time that two head coaches in the top five in career regular season wins have faced each other since Week 4 in 1990 when Don Shula's Dolphins met Chuck Knoll's Steelers.
The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs will meet for the first time since the 2020 season when the teams had a game that was moved from a Sunday game to a Monday game due to COVID-19 on Oct. 5, 2020, at Kansas City. The Chiefs took a 26-10 victory in that game.
Kansas City holds a 20-16-3 edge over New England overall, but the Chiefs are 8-11-2 in games played in New England, including 2-4 at Gillette Stadium (2-5 including playoffs).
New England is 2-0 against Kansas City in the postseason after a 27-20 win on Jan. 16, 2016, in a 2015 AFC Divisional Playoff Game and then a 37-31 overtime win in the AFC Championship Game on Jan. 20, 2019, at Kansas City.
The two teams played twice a year from 1960 until the 1970 AFL-NFL merger as two of the original American Football League teams.
