Chiefs end four-game losing streak

  Charles returned from injury to score three touchdowns Monday night, Brady was intercepted twice by the opportunist leaders, and Kansas City beat New England 41-14 in hand, Bill Belichick, one of his worst loss as coach of the Patriots.

Charles victory last week in Miami missed with a sprained ankle, rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown. The Pro Bowl running back also caught two touchdown passes short of Alex Smith, who had 248 yards and three touchdowns in a sustained performance before a raucous crowd.

The Chiefs (2-2) ended a four-game skid at Arrowhead Stadium since last season with the delivery of the Patriots (2-2) their worst loss since losing to San Diego 41-17 in 2005.

Along with throwing two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, Brady was strip-sacked by Tamba Hali to step up a field goal. Brady finished 14 of 23 for 159 yards.

The Chiefs forced the Patriots to air by stuffing Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley. And when Brady dropped back, his front seven ran roughshod over their suspect offensive line.

Hardly helped the Patriots offense, which was trying to operate on the same night Chiefs fans were trying to retrieve the record for the highest place of outdoor sports. The record was set in the first half, when Guinness World Records recorded a noise level of 142.2 decibels - breaking the mark of 137.6 that fans of the Seattle Seahawks had since last season.

The crowd included several members of the Kansas City Royals, who made the trek across the parking Kauffman Stadium to see the match on the bench. The Royals play their first playoff game since 1985 against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday night.

Knile Davis finished with 107 yards rushing for Kansas City. Tight end Travis Kelce had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown.

Charles gave the Chiefs an early lead with his first-quarter touchdown drop, and then the lead with a TD catch for 5 yards in the second quarter widened.

Cairo Santos added a field goal from 22 yards just before halftime for a 17-0 lead.

The field goal came after the Chiefs were rescued by a defensive penalty. They were arrested a short pass play with 8 seconds left, but the penalty gave them a second chance.

Kansas City had 303 yards of offense in the first half, the most against any Belichick-coached team.

Charles scored his third touchdown of the game early in the second half, taking a short pass in the flat and stumble into the end zone. He appeared to grab his hamstring in the road and met with the coaches as he left the field. After a brief trip to the locker room, Charles recorded a few more carries before his night was done.

At that time, the game was pretty much done, too.

Brady threw a touchdown pass of 44 yards in the third quarter to Brandon LaFell, who slipped the reach of cornerback Marcus Cooper to reach the end zone. But he was intercepted by Husain Abdullah later in the middle, and Abdullah returned the interception 39 yards for a touchdown.
