For Chiefs, getting revenge on Patriots is within reach but will require growth | USA Today
Players insist that this year’s team has better fortitude and that the offense is more explosive than the previous version.
The Chiefs could be right. But if the coaches and players don’t address several key shortcomings, this team will not reach its full potential.
The banned fan may be disappointed to know that he will never again see Tom Brady throw a pass at Gillette—at least not in person—but a far more life-altering consequence of his reckless behavior is that he has been charged with two crimes: (1) disorderly conduct and (2) throwing or dropping objects at sporting events.

The Packers racked up over 190 yards of offense and 17 points in the first quarter, but sputtered for the better part of the rest of the game after that.
