I think Ernie Adams saw this live and told him to challenge

Still, the decision to challenge a close first down is a low percentage decision. Especially with a referee team that statistically is not in favor of the Patriots, which I'm sure Ernie and Bill were also aware of to some degree at some point. Factor in the momentum the Patriots defense was gaining at that point in general anyways and it was a waste of a challenge in a close game that was getting closer.

Even if it is unlikely overturned, at fourth and inches on the following play it is hard to justify the challenge since the Chiefs very likely would have tried and converted.

With all of these factors in mind it just seemed like a desperate challenge at the time and I instantly thought it was a waste which is very atypical for Belichick.
