After suffering a dramatic and controversial 20-17 defeat to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, the Kansas City Chiefs (8-5) are under severe pressure to return to winning ways as they make the trip to Foxborough to face the New England Patriots (3-10) for a lopsided contest in Sunday afternoon's NFL Week 15 action.
Not only did Patrick Mahomes and Co. fall two games behind in the race for the AFC's No. 1 seed, but many Chiefs faithful booed their team at the weekend, and some players lost their heads at the end of the match.
It's safe to say the reigning champions are clearly feeling the pressure, and that's unlikely to change now that they face a must-win date with the Patriots, whose morale will be boosted following only their third victory of the season last week, 21-18 against the Steelers, and they could play spoiler with a victory on Sunday.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch the match, including what TV channel to watch it on, streaming details, and more.
