Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so not everyone is going to agree with how the Chiefs looked Monday night in their 26-10 win over the Patriots.

But the bottom line is the Chiefs got the win against one of the teams expected to be a challenger in the AFC.

New England was without starting quarterback Cam Newton and backup Brian Hoyer was replaced after his poor play.

It was a 6-3 score late in the third quarter before the Chiefs put the pedal to the metal. Here is what Chiefs fans were saying about the win:

All right. Great win for #ChiefsKingdom . Other winner was 6PM Monday Night Football. We should all do this again! And we’ll keep the fountains on for Tony Romo!

Chiefs had an off game and still won by 16. And dont give me that “if cam played” nonsense. In the past, they dominated no matter who cycled in at QB. Thats why Jimmy got paid, Jacoby got paid, Cassell got paid. #ChiefsKingdom #Chiefsvspatriots

The #Chiefs defense is for real.

It was ugly for most of the time but we just beat a playoff team by two scores. I think our effort would have been better if Cam was 100% and starting. Game lost a lot of juice. #Chiefs

I’m not saying I helped by turning all my Hue lights to my @chiefs red setting, I’m just saying when I did, it was a turning point and you’re welcome. #ChiefsKingdom
