An equipment container that contained some of the Chiefs' shoulder pads, helmets and footballs was not unloaded Saturday and instead accidentally made its way to Newark, New Jersey, where it now is being rushed back to Boston. If the Chiefs didn't have the equipment by the time the game started they would have to forfeit, per a source. Kansas City is responsible, not the Patriots or the league.
Obvious attempt at misdirection there by ESPN. The fact that they feel the need to say "Patriots are not responsible" is alluding to what readers are obviously thinking. We all know the truth, that the airport employees who mishandled the bags were obviously named McNally and Jastremski. They had to get new jobs after leaving the Patriots, but Belichick pulled some strings to make sure they would be in position to keep helping the team.
