Arrowhead and the Chiefs were rocking Monday night
After having the Guinness World Record for loudest stadium in the world taken from the Chiefs by the Seattle Seahawks in 2013, the Chiefs trumped Seattle's previous record of 137.6 decibels with a deafening 142.2 decibels Monday night against Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Good news for the Chiefs, besides the new record, is that after a nightmare start to the season, the Chiefs have trounced their opponents the past two weeks, including wins against the Patriots and the Dolphins.
After committing three turnovers, Brady was taken out of the game when he threw an interception across the middle of the field in the fourth quarter. Jimmy Garoppolo replaced him.
On the other end, Alex Smith did what he pleased against the Patriots defense, completing 20 of 26 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, with two to running back Jamaal Charles.
The story of the game for the Chiefs was their ability to run against the Patriots defense. Charles made a theatrical return after sitting out the past two weeks with an ankle injury by putting up 108 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. Running back Knile Davis complimented Charles with 107 rushing yards.

After the game, coach Andy Reid spoke to ESPN reporters regarding the run game between Charles and
"You can keep throwing fastballs at the defense," Reid said. "It allows you to have two fresh backs in the fourth quarter."
Davis.
Reid's strategy of using two backs worked against a nimble Patriots defense. Charles' speed and Davis' power worked as a one-two punch to keep the defense on its heels. Charles, who has been
the starter since he arrived in Kansas City, was on board with Davis sharing the load.
"We knew before the games that I was going to get some reps and Knile was going to get some reps;" Charles said.
This system of using two backs to wear down the defense looks to be a strong and effective game plan, especially with Davis gaining confidence from Charles.
"We both feed off each other," Davis said after the game. "When he's in,
I know he's going to do his thing. When I'm in, I'm going to do my thing."
Monday night, it worked effectively.
