Belichick essentially acted out the abbreviation “SMDH” in response, and his team went on to win Super Bowl XLIX.

Knile Davis levied a seismic blow on the opening kickoff and the Kansas City Chiefs defense dominated in a 30-0 victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday in an AFC Wild Card Game at NRG Stadium.
The last time the Patriots faced the Kansas City Chiefs was in November of 2014 in a 41-14 embarrassment on Monday Night Football.
“You never expect to start a game like that”, – Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith. “I don’t feel bad for him because I know he’s going to move on and be a better player from this game”. “So, that’s what we’ll try to do”.
It’s hard to blame the Texans defense in this game as it held the Kansas City offense to just field goals in the first half. They had numerous pressures on Hoyer, getting three sacks, forcing a fumble and four INTs in the game. He is such a leader for us on and off the field. But as you mentioned, a lot of time has passed there, so there are a lot of other things to think about, too.
“We had talked about me going in there with Brian”, Weeden said. It didn’t matter though as two plays later Kareem Jackson deflected a pass by Smith and it was intercepted by Brian Cushing to give Houston the ball right back.
The team’s turnaround was little solace for Watt after Saturday’s debacle, however: “Did we do some good things?”
The Bengals will have thought they had won after AJ Green scored a clutch go-ahead score to lead 16-15 and Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict then intercepted Landry Jones’ pass.
Houston coach Bill O’Brien said he never considered benching Hoyer, but backup Brandon Weeden told a different story, saying he was warming up late.
For the Patriots, the offensive line has been a point of weakness due to injury, as has quarterback Tom Brady’s options at wide receiver. “And the job they’ve done there, the accomplishments they’ve had, they’ve made history”, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.
When taking a glance at their schedule and how strong of football they had been playing as of late at that point, one had to wonder if they could win out the rest of the season. “That’s what this is all about”.
“Not 100 percent sure, but we’ll get it diagnosed tomorrow and I’ll have surgery on Tuesday and take it from there”, Watt said, per the team’s website.

New England is trying to reach its fifth straight conference title game, but the Chiefs have a streak of their own. “So we’ve got to figure out a way”.
