Hunt, Chiefs pull off major upset in kickoff!

Hi, lets get right into what happened in the kickoff game of the season:

Chiefs 42, Patriots 27:
This was one of the craziest kickoff games I've seen in a long time. Maybe ever. The defending Super Bowl champs had a horrible debut game while the Chiefs were AMAZING! We will start with the negative and that was the Patriots. While new RB Mike Gillislee played well and had 3 TDs, the Pats looked confused. Brady was off. He played decently but didn't throw a single TD or interception. To win the Pats would have needed more from him. Also the defense got tired out and let the Chiefs go all over them. I've never seen the Pats D in recent years get smoked that hard since the start of the Super Bowl. The Chiefs however were at the TOP of their game. Alex Smith who had doubts on him with the draft pick of Patrick Mahomes 10th overall played like an All-Pro. 350+ yards and 4 TDs. Maybe Mahomes won't play as soon as we think. Tyreek Hill had a nice one TD game and the
defense looked good even though Eric Berry went down with an injury that I don't know the extent to but rookie RB Kareem Hunt absoulutely stole the show! After having a bad start by fumbling on his very first play ever, he went onto have one of the best rookie debuts EVER! 246 scrimmage yards and 3 TDs. Did I forget to mention thats the most scrimmage yards in a rookie debut EVER! Thats right, Hunt had one of the best rookie debut performances, if not THE best EVER! Hunt also scored 40 fantasy points! THATS LITERALLY INSANE! Only 2 players last year had 40 or over and guess who they were. Le'Veon Bell and Ezekiel Elliott, and they are 2 of the best fantasy players in the league. Hunt did this in his first game! Does this mean Hunt is going to become one of the best RBs in football if he did this in his debut. Who knows? But we do know the Chiefs got a steal when they picked Hunt in the 3rd round of the draft. The Chiefs pulled off a major upset and could actually be a contender this year if they keep playing like that. Here comes Kareem Hunt and the Chiefs!
