Patriots Prime Time: A Brief History of Monday Night
 
The Patriots and Chiefs have clashed three times on Monday Night football heading into tonight’s game, with the Patriots holding a 3-0 record: a 30-24 win on December 4, 2000, at Foxboro Stadium; a 27-19 win on November 22, 2004, at Arrowhead Stadium; and a 34-3 victory November 21, 2011, at Gillette Stadium. That last result may ring a bell with the mention of Tyler Palko, the Chiefs’ emergency starter at quarterback who threw three interceptions. Through a scheduling quirk, New England and Kansas City will meet for the second consecutive time on Monday Night Football this evening.

It is still unbelievable that the two didn't play between 1981 and 1990 and that the Patriots went so many years without visiting Kansas City, despite being in the same conference AND given the AFL history between the clubs.
