As for the total, the under is 21-8-1 in the Chiefs' past 30 home games. -- Nelson
Officiating scouting report: Referee Clete Blakeman's regular-season crew threw an average of
16.9 flags per game, fifth-most in the league. He called 13 in the Chargers-Ravens wild-card game. The Chiefs' active pass rush should be aware that Blakeman threw 10 flags for roughing the passer during the regular season, tied for third-most in the league. -- Seifert
Injury update: The Patriots have no players on their injury report after removing defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. (ankle) on Thursday. As for the Chiefs,
Eric Berry has a good chance of playing Sunday after participation in both of the week's practice sessions so far. Asked how Berry looked in those practices, Reid said, "He looked good out there. I see him out there looking like Eric Berry."
