1. Patriots' offense struggling, but Tom Brady offers familiar challenge for Chiefs' defense
By Terez Paylor - The Kansas City Star
"Just two weeks after he was forced to prepare for one sure-fire, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback in Denver's Peyton Manning, Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has gone through the same drill to get ready for another in New England's Tom Brady.
