The New England Patriots couldn’t have asked for a better start in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
After receiving the opening kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium, the Patriots’ offense quickly went to work against the top-seeded Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady and Co. put together an impressive 15-play, 80-yard drive that concluded with a rushing touchdown from Sony Michel, who ran for three scores in the divisional round against the Los Angeles Chargers.
