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.
