FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Running back Jerick McKinnon threw for one touchdown and ran for another to help Kansas City beat the New England Patriots 27-17 in front of Chiefs superfan Taylor Swift. Patrick Mahomes passed for 305 yards and two scores. The defending Super Bowl champions snapped a two-game losing streak and maintained control of the AFC West race. Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, who is in a relationship with Swift, caught five passes for 28 yards, but also had a potential touchdown bounce off his hands. Bailey Zappe made his third straight start in place of benched first-round draft pick Mac Jones. He completed 23 of 31 passes for 180 yards for the Patriots. New England lost for the sixth time in seven games.
