CA – Patriots vs Chiefs score, results: Cam Newton’s absence felt as Patrick Mahomes leads KC to comfortable victory

In a game that was primarily a slow-paced chess match, it looks like COVID-19 ended up being the difference

The Patriots, playing without starting quarterback Cam Newton, who tested positive for the virus last week, struggled on offense in a 26-10 loss Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham combined to four turnovers as they took the shots in his place Hoyer threw an interception and lost a fumble in the red zone, and he also inexplicably lost the Patriots’ time-outs at the end of the first half He took a bag with his team well in the field goal range because the time has expired

Stidham looked proficient in his first practice, finding N’Keal Harry for a touchdown from the back of the end zone to reduce the deficit to 13-10 with 13:45 to go. After that, however , he threw two picks, one of which was returned by Tyrann Mathieu for a touchdown

The Chiefs were limited to six points in the first half on a pair of first-quarter field goals, but they finally broke through at the end of the third quarter with an explosive push that ended in an assist from Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill on a sweep jet for a TD

It was a below-par night for Mahomes, who completed 19 of 29 passes (655 percent) for 226 yards and two touchdowns, but in a game where the Patriots left plenty of runs on the field, c ‘was more than enough
