The Patriots' offensive will be an opportunity against the D leaders

Is it too early to think of the playoffs in the AFC? If you are the Kansas City Chiefs, yes, that's right.

Last season, the Chiefs were also 5-0, then lost six of their next seven and had to go through a four-game winning streak together at the end to qualify for the playoffs.

Once there, they lost to Arrowhead against the Titans, 22-21. They just need to stack the victories and the starting pitch will take care of itself.

For the patriots? It is not too early. At 3-2, they already have two games behind the Chiefs. A defeat on Sunday would give them four games behind KC as the first playoff game for the playoffs is face to face.

The Patriots will win the division. But if they want to stay home after the playoffs, winning Sunday night is crucial.

More truths

(Of course, if Tennessee could beat KC at Arrowhead last year, what would the BFD do if New England has to go there to kick ass in January? , play.)

Meanwhile, this week's officials will be the crew led by John Hussey. His crew has launched 80 flags in five games to date, representing nearly two penalties per game more than the championship average.

The Patriots had only 26 penalties accepted this season and 31 flags were launched. Seven flags were thrown on two defensive backs, Stephon Gilmore and J.C. Jackson.

The Kansas City Peninsula had 45 penalties and 52 flags. In their last four games, they have been hit three times by double-digit penalties. The Chiefs are the third most penalized team in the league. The Patriots are tied for the least penalized team.

We told you all week how fast Tyreek Hill is. So how fast does it run? About 22 mph. Hill reached a top speed of 21.98 mph on a Patrick Mahomes 58-yard touchdown reception, and reached 21.78 mph when he was the fastest of his punt return return. 91 yards.

As for Mahomes, looking at the distribution charts of his passes on the NFL Next Gen Stats website shows that he is more and more comfortable, week by week, using the full width of the field. When he launched the first two picks of his 2018 season against the Jaguars last week, they both arrived in the middle of the pack.

In addition, as the Chiefs were all beaten in high school, it is interesting to note that Tom Brady's note for throws between 10 and 20 yards is not up to par. It is 127.1 to the left, 146.8 to the center and 120.0 to the right. The league averages are 84, 95.6 and 86.5. In contrast, Brady has a 0.0 rating in the center and was not screened left.
