As a result of the Pittsburgh Steelers edging the Cincinnati Bengals last night, the New England Patriots will host the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs. To begin our week of analysis here on Musket Fire, we’re going to take a look back at the career history of Tom Brady against the Chiefs.

Patriots vs. Chiefs: Early thoughts

In six career games against the Chiefs, Brady has won four. Brady’s stat line in those six games reads 1,442 yards, nine touchdowns, seven interceptions, a completion rate of 62.9 and a quarterback rating of 88.2.

Worth noting is that Brady’s quarterback rating against the Chiefs is his seventh-worst among the 32 NFL franchises. The Chiefs have given Brady headaches (and a torn ACL) before, so Patriots fans should approach this game with some degree of worry.

Alright, let’s take a closer look at each of the six contests Brady has participated in against the Chiefs, starting with his very first back in 2002.
