Chiefs at Patriots - Week 1 - Record: 1-0 - Part I

Tom Brady flinched.

You simply could not miss it. In the middle of the 2nd quarter or whenever it was, at a point when the game was still close and New England playing well enough, Tom Brady went back to pass, stood in the pocket, had plenty of time, and

He flinched.

He hunched over with a jerk, just for a second, when he heard the footsteps before straightening up again, then threw some pass -- I don't even know what happened with it, it may have been a touchdown for all I know -- but damn.

Tom Brady was scared.

Everyone saw it, right there on national television on the showcase NFL opener.

Sure enough, even behind 27-21 as the 4th quarter began, the Chiefs turned it on and took down the most dominant team of the modern day at their place.

There is so much to write about regarding this game, Kareem Hunt, wow, Alex Smith, wow, Eric Berry, wow, our overall resilience throughout the game, wow, so many other things, but I simply have to plug in a Part II later because it is late at night now and I still have work early tomorrow morning.

Anyway, whoa-hoo, what a night.
