Patriots come from behind to deprive Chiefs in overtime

REIGNING Superbowl champions, the New England Patriots, overcame an early 10-0 disadvantage, then blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead before finally eking out a 41-38 overtime win over Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Adam Vinatieri won it for the Pats on a 35-yard field goal, but Tom Brady again had the hot hand for New England, going 39 for 54 for a career high 410 yards and four touchdowns.

The Chiefs’ Priest Holmes, who was the player of the week a year ago this week, rallied the Chiefs with two late touchdowns, the second with time running out, to force extra time.
