In that game, New England QB Tom Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury as Matt Cassel came on to lead the club.

CB Brandon Flowers is tied for third in the AFC and tied for fi fth in the NFL by victimizing opposing quarterbacks four times, including taking one back for a touchdown. LB Derrick Johnson has 94 tackles and is on pace for 167 tackles in 2011, a mark that would rank as the highest single-season total in Chiefs history.

WINNING THE SECOND HALF

The second half of games has been key to the Chiefs success in 2011. During its four-game winning streak, Kansas City came out of the halftime break having made the proper adjustments. In its last six contests, the team has out-scored its opponents by a 61-51 mark in the second half of games. Scoring is not the only improvement the club has made.

FIRST QUARTER VS. SECOND QUARTER

Kansas City’s special teams units have been vital in controlling the fi eld position game for the club. Led by CB Javier Arenas, the Chiefs rank fourth in the NFL with a 13.7-yard punt return average. The Chiefs cornerback currently paces the AFC and is third in the NFL with a 14.1-yard punt return average. Only Chicago WR Devin Hester (20.1) and Arizona CB Patrick Peterson (17.6) have a higher average. Both of those players have returned multiple punts for touchdowns. New England is holding its opponents to a 5.9-yard return average on punts to rank second in the NFL behind only Chicago (3.5). The Patriots have only allowed 94 return yards and have forced eight fair catches. The Chiefs kickoff coverage unit has been equally effective for the club. Kansas City has only allowed opponents to average 18.0-yards per kickoff return on the season. That average is the best mark in the NFL. Opponents have an average starting position of the 21.4-yard line after kickoffs to rank 13th in the NFL. New England has a 20.8-yard kickoff return average in 2011, standing 30th in the NFL. Only Buffalo (19.7) and Indianapolis (18.0) have a lower average.NFL LEADERS NFL LEADERSPUNT RETURN AVG., 2011 OPP.

Kansas City is one of four teams in the NFL to not commit a turnover in at least four contests in 2011, joining Cincinnati (4), Houston (5) and New England (4). Under Head Coach Todd Haley, the Chiefs are 7-7 when not committing a turnover. The Kansas City quarterbacks have only thrown nine interceptions on the year, tying for the 14th-fewest in the NFL. The Chiefs have forced their opponents to turn the ball over 15 times. Those 15 takeaways are tied for the 12th most in the NFL this season. Kansas City has had a takeaway in six of its nine contests in 2011. The Chiefs have been opportunistic against opposing quarterbacks this year. The club has 13 interceptions, tying for fourth in the NFL. Only Green Bay (17), Buffalo (15) and Houston (14) have more so far. Kansas City had a league-high six interceptions at Oakland (10/23). New England is tied for eighth in the NFL by picking off opposing QBs 12 times so far in 2011. The Patriots have thrown 10 interceptions, tying for the ninth most in the league. QB Tom Brady has thrown an interception in fi ve of the nine contests this season. A year ago, he did not throw an interception in an NFL-record 11 consecutive starts. CB Brandon Flowers is tied for third in the AFC and fi fth in the NFL with four interceptions. New England CB Kyle Arrington is tied for the NFL lead with fi ve interceptions. The Chiefs are 18th in the NFL with a -1 turnover differential (15 takes/16 gives). Over its last six games, Kansas City is +5 in the turnover column (11 takes/6 gives). New England has a +3 turnover differential (17 takes/14 gives), tying for 10th in the NFL. NFL LEADERS NFL LEADERSINTERCEPTIONS, 2011 INTERCEPTIONS, 20111. 17 Green Bay 1. 5 K.

TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL

Dating back to 2009, Kansas City is 10-8 when producing a positive turnover differential. The Chiefs are 5-5 away from Arrowhead Stadium over that same timeframe when positive in the turnover column. In 2011, Kansas City is 2-1 overall with a positive turnover margin and 1-1 on the road. In the last three meetings between the two clubs in New England, the Patriots are +3 in the turnover column. The Chiefs have committed seven giveaways while only taking the ball away four times. New England is 5-7 when negative in the turnover column dating back to 2009. The club is 2-2 in 2011 when negative. In contests with a positive turnover margin, the Patriots are 22-2 dating back to 2009, including 3-1 this season. Since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002, the Patriots are 45-1 when positive in the turnover column. The club has won 43 consecutive home games with a positive turnover margin dating back to a game vs. Minnesota (11/24/02). The Patriots only setback with a positive turnover margin at Gillette Stadium was a 24-16 loss vs. Denver (10/27/02). New England fi nished the day +2 in the turnover column.

New England is allowing 308.9 passing yards per game to rank 32nd in the NFL. Teams have attempted 363 passes against the Patriots defense, the fourth-highest total in the NFL this season. Only Chicago (390), New Orleans (381) and San Francisco (363) have had more attempted on them. The seven clubs that have allowed the most pass attempts are all either fi rst or second in their divisions. The Patriots have allowed six of their nine opponents to each produce 300 or more net passing yards. New England allowed a season-high 390 net passing yards vs. Miami (9/12/11). Kansas City is averaging 182.2 passing yards per game to rank 28th in the NFL. The club’s 59.8 completion percentage stands 17th in the NFL. QB Matt Cassel has attempted 73 consecutive passes without an interception dating back to a game vs. San Diego (10/31). It marks the second time this season Cassel has not thrown an INT in two consecutive games. The Chiefs defense is allowing 230.3 net passing yards per game through their fi rst nine games. That mark ranks 16th in the NFL. Kansas City held Denver to eight passing attempts in its last contest, the lowest single-game mark in team history. The Broncos two completions in that game tied for the second-lowest single-game total in club annals.

THE LAST TIMEPatriots 17, Chiefs 10Patriots 17, Chiefs 10

September 7, 2008 • Gillette Stadium • 68,756

It was a game where both starting quarterbacks suffered game-ending injuries, the defenses seemed in more control of the outcome than the offenses and where New England was able to score one more touchdown than the Chiefs. Ultimately, that was the difference as the Patriots grabbed a 17-10 victory at Gillette Stadium.

In the first quarter, the Chiefs defense was very active, forcing a pair of New England fumbles. The Patriots won the opening coin toss and QB Tom Brady drove them five plays before the Chiefs defense stopped them on a third down and New England was forced to punt. CB Brandon Flowers ran into P Chris Hanson and the five-yard penalty gave the Patriots a first down.

But three plays later, WR Wes Welker caught a pass and the ball was punched out by CB Patrick Surtain, recovered by S Jarrad Page and the Chiefs had possession at their own 40-yard line. On their next offensive series, the Patriots were moving the ball when Brady completed a pass to WR Randy Moss. The ball came loose and was recovered by CB Brandon Carr. New England suffered an even bigger loss as Brady was hit on the left knee by blitzing S Bernard Pollard.

When the Patriots offense came back on the field, they were directed by fourth-year QB Matt Cassel. Two runs by RB Sammy Morris produced a one-yard loss as the Chiefs had the Patriots backed up, but then on third down from their own one-yard line, Cassel hit Moss for a 51-yard gain to get New England out of a field position hole as the first quarter ended.

Later in that possession, on a third down-and-eight play at the Chiefs 10-yard line, Cassel found Moss at the back of the end zone as he caught his 125th career TD pass for a 7-0 lead. Late in the second quarter, the Chiefs got a drive going, as they converted a trio of third down plays. The big play in the possession was a 20-yard completion from QB Brodie Croyle to TE Tony Gonzalez. But the drive bogged down and K Nick Novak nailed a 40-yard FG for a 7-3 at halftime score.

Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle suffered a right shoulder injury on the first drive of the second half when he was sacked by LB Adalius Thomas and did not return to the game. The Patriots then took over at their own 20-yard line and marched 80 yards in 11 plays, using 6:14 of the third-quarter clock. A five-yard run by RB Sammy Morris gave New England a 14-3 lead.

The Chiefs offense came back on the field with QB Damon Huard under center and moved down the field in their best possession of the game, going 10 plays and 63 yards and finishing up with a Huard to WR Dwayne Bowe 13-yard TD pass to make the score 14-10.

A 37-yard FG by K Stephen Gostkowski capped a 10-play, 34-yard drive and gave the Patriots a seven-point lead with less than 2:30 to play. The Chiefs took over at their own 22-yard line and hit their biggest play of the game, as Huard connected with WR Devard Darling for 68 yards. Darling was tackled on the New England five-yard line. The Chiefs had four plays to score, but three Huard passes fell incomplete and a Johnson run went for no gain as the Patriots narrowly escaped with a 17-10 victory.

THE LAST GAMEBroncos 17, Chiefs 10Broncos 17, Chiefs 10

November 13, 2011 • Arrowhead Stadium • 72,908

Behind 244 rushing yards, the Denver Broncos defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 17-10 at Arrowhead Stadium. Six Denver ball carriers rushed a total of 55 times on the afternoon and averaged 4.4 yards per carry. QB Tim Tebow threw a touchdown and rushed for another for the Broncos. After forcing a three-and-out on the game’s first possession, Denver took an early 7-0 lead on a seven-yard touchdown run by Tebow to cap an eight-play, 57-yard drive in 4:11. RB Knowshon Moreno had a 24-yard run in which he hurdled a defender to set up the score. K Matt Prater increased the lead to 10-0 with a 38-yard field goal with 7:46 remaining in the first half. The scoring drive covered 34 yards on eight plays in 4:32. The 10-point lead would hold up through halftime. Denver had 169 rushing yards in the first half and did not complete a pass. Kansas City was only able to generate 72 total yards through the first two quarters. Kansas City pulled within three on a one-yard touchdown pass from QB Matt Cassel to FB Le’Ron McClain with 8:10 left in the third quarter. The Chiefs drove 65 yards on eight plays in 3:29. For McClain, it was his first TD reception since 2008. The big play on the drive was a 34-yard run by RB Jackie Battle, marking the longest rush of the season for the Chiefs. RB Dexter McCluster accounted for 28 yards with two receptions and one carry on the scoring march. Tebow connected with WR Eric Decker on third-and-10 for a 56-yard touchdown with 6:44 left in the fourth quarter to increase the lead to 17-7. The drive covered 80 yards and eight plays in 5:21. The scoring strike was just the second completion of the day for Tebow. On the following drive, the Broncos defense held on a fourth down play to force a turnover on downs with 4:56 left in regulation. After the Chiefs got a stop of their own, Denver again held Kansas City on downs deep in their own territory with 3:29 left in the game. Prater missed a 41-yard field goal with 1:55 left in regulation to give KC the ball back. QB Tyler Palko entered the game and led an eight-play, 55-yard drive in 1:48 that concluded on a 32-yard field goal by K Ryan Succop with seven seconds left in regulation to pull the Chiefs within seven. Palko completed five of six throws for 47 yards on the drive. The Broncos recovered the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock to finish the game.
