Chiefs vs. Patriots: TV Schedule, Live Stream, Radio, Game Time and More

The Chiefs will limp into New England on the heels of an awful two-game losing streak, and without the services of QB Matt Cassel.

Needless to say, things do not look good for the Chiefs in this one as they take on a Patriots team that looked as good as they have all season while dismantling the Jets 37-16 last week.

The Patriots will look to keep the pedal to the medal as they attempt to reassert their control of the AFC East.

Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit' Em

Start 'Em: Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe

There is justifiably some trepidation starting Bowe since Tyler Palko will be his QB. However, he should be able to put up some numbers in this one.

Bowe will likely be Palko's primary target and should get plenty of targets. Helping this connection find some success is the fact that the Patriots have been horrible stopping opposing No. 1 WRs. Football Outsiders ranks them 32nd stopping No. 1's.

Sit 'Em: Every Chiefs player not named Bowe

Send WR Jonathan Baldwin, RB Jackie Battle and any other Chiefs player you may be considering to the bench. 

The Patriots will be able to focus on stopping the run, which will kill Battle's production, and Baldwin is not likely to see enough on-target passes to make him productive.

What They're Saying

The Chiefs aren't just going to have to worry about their offense in this one. Adam Teicher of the Sporting News sheds some light on what could kill the Chiefs when they are on defense. 

"

The Kansas City Chiefs weren't able to take advantage of young and/or struggling quarterbacks the past two games, something that doesn’t bode well as they’re about to embark on a stretch of schedule that has them facing Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers, among others.

The inability to put pressure on the quarterback is at the root of the problem. Defensive backs and linebackers are asked to cover far too long on most pass plays. The Chiefs have nine sacks, and their inability to acquire or develop even one pass rusher to complement Tamba Hali, who has six sacks, is perhaps their biggest failure this season.

Chiefs Player To Watch: QB Tyler Palko

Palko is 28, but this is just his second year in the league. During those two years he has thrown just 13 passes.

Now he is being asked to take over the starting duties. Expectations are low for Palko, but this is undoubtedly his big opportunity to prove he belongs in the NFL.

Patriots Player To Watch: QB Tom Brady

Brady has thrown an uncharacteristic 10 interceptions this season. He has also put up some huge positive numbers to go with it.

However, Brady needs to figure out a way to stop turning the ball over.

Key Matchup: Wes Welker vs. Brandon Flowers

Flowers is turning in a fantastic season. He is typically asked to go up against the opposition's best receiver and stay there.

This has led the Chiefs to being ranked eighth by Football Outsiders in terms of defending No. 1 WRs. And that comes in spite of the above-mentioned poor Chiefs pass rush.

Flowers will have his work cut out for him in this one as he is asked to stop the amazingly productive Wes Welker.

Prediction: Patriots 32, Chiefs 10

It is hard to see any scenario where the Chiefs will have much success in this one. They have been abysmal in their last two games, and they now must try and get a disappearing offense going with an unproven QB.
