Miscues cost Patriots as Chiefs move to 4-0

New England Patriots’ stand-in quarterbacks combined for three interceptions as the Kansas City Chiefs maintained their perfect 4-0 start to the NFL season by cruising to a 26-10 victory on Monday.

The reigning Super Bowl champions scored 14 points from turnovers as New England suffered a myriad of offensive issues at Arrowhead Stadium with Cam Newton sidelined following a positive covid-19 test.

Patriots veteran Brian Hoyer stepped in and completed 15 of 24 passes for 130 yards and an interception, twice having the ball inside Kansas City’s 16-yard line without coming away with any points.

With the Patriots 6-3 behind and in short field-goal range, Hoyer was sacked by Frank Clark with seconds remaining to close out the first half, before the 34-year-old lost a fumble in the red zone to Taco Charlton.
