Well . . . we will see what happens on Sunday.
No Houston did not play in that game and we will see how much of a different he makes on Sunday. The Pats were in their early season mode and are now in their late season mode. We will see how that effects the game.
As for the KC comeback, the Pats procedure for being up big in a game is to give ground/points/possession in exchange for time to shorten the game. This is partly due to KC's comeback in week 6. Not to take too much away from KC, but a portion of the comeback was due to our policy.
Like the Pats playing the Jets week 17 the Chiefs played oakland, with both franchise getting ready for the summer. The Pats handled LAC fairly well and let us to shorten the game and the Chargers go two TDs in the 4th quarter.
So both KC and NE are coming off solids wins recently and wins against division rival getting ready for off season.
