Jamaal Charles, who returned from an ankle injury, scored three touchdowns as the Kansas City Chiefs routed the New England Patriots 41-14 in a National Football League contest on Monday night.
Kansas City roared out to a 27-0 lead after three quarters at Arrowhead Stadium and never looked back as they improved to 2-2 on the season.
Charles missed last week's 34-15 win over Miami with a high ankle sprain he suffered in a week two loss.
The 27-year-old rushed the ball 18 times for 92 yards and added three receptions for 16 yards in the victory.
Quarterback Alex Smith completed 20-of-26 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns, Travis Kelce had eight receptions for 93 yards and a score and Knile Davis gained 107 yards on 16 rushes.
New England failed to pass the 300-yard barrier for the third time in four games after doing it just four times last season.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was 14-of-23 for 159 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for New England who suffered their worst loss since a humiliating 41-17 defeat to San Diego in 2005.
"We couldn't really move the ball consistently on offence and turned the ball over in the second half," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said.
