NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Callahan: Patriots’ loss to Chiefs clarifies harsh reality of upcoming rebuild

Published Tue, 19 Nov 2024 10:42:33 GMT

FOXBORO — Maybe it had been so long we all forgot.Winning is one hell of a drug.For 10 days, that ugly upset at Pittsburgh cast such a spell it induced visions of a happy ending to this Patriots season.For 10 days, small pockets of the fanbase and media fantasized about the potential of a five-game win streak crossing into the New Year; of a locker room banded together, forged in the fires of doubt and defeat; of Bill Belichick, defiant and determined, scheming upsets of the reigning Super Bowl champions, Broncos and Bills before disemboweling the Jets to prove he deserves another year.Then all of those visions shattered Sunday.The Chiefs choked the Patriots out over the second half of a 27-17 win so painfully Belichick seemed to cry uncle when he punted in the face of a three-possession deficit with nine minutes left and later didn’t bother to take his final timeout. The game reeked of boredom. All of Sunday’s sizzle fizzled once Kansas City took control just minu...
