The Kansas City Chiefs look to reach their first conference championship since the 1993 season. He’s working hard, too, so it’s a bunch of guys that have been nicked-up over the course of the season and as many guys that can be healthy as possible, that’s what we’re going to need.

It’s been over 15 months since the Patriots suffered an embarrassing 41-14 loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, their opponent this weekend in the AFC Divisional round.
The Patriots (12-4) were the class of the National Football League for the first 10 games of the regular season.
“I hate to jump conclusions, or jump ahead”.
Let’s look at what the KC Chiefs are going to have to do to make it one step closer to completing the best year in KC sports history. Still, the narrative needed a low point and the Pats would only lose one more meaningful game that entire season.
The Chiefs initially feared that Maclin had hurt his knee ligament, which he’s twice had surgically repaired.
Roethlisberger did not go into details when asked by CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson how severe the shoulder injury was or whether he would be able to play at Denver next week. They’re essentially saying this game will be a coin flip.
Saturday will mark Brady’s 30th post-season game in his career, and a win will mean he can break the record held for most ever, now held by his former teammate, kicker Adam Vinatieri. I think we’ve handled it pretty decent.
Perhaps they are OK.
In the game, the Patriots had 210 yards of total offense, 140 passing yards, and no passing touchdowns to show for it. Maclin has been a stud receiver all year long opening up the deep ball for Alex Smith.
“It’s not just down to his physical talents”.
Q: Does your mentality change at all personally when you prepare for a playoff game? “He brings a lot”. Shaq Mason should be an interesting player to watch, as he’s an outstanding pull blocker and could be a key to sparking the ground game this time around. They’ve lost their starting running back and backup running back, as well as several other players, to injuries.
However, the Chiefs’ pass rush is a little hobbled, as two of their top rushers, linebackers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, are both trying to recover from significant injuries. Ditto for injuries to nickel back Philip Gaines and a litany of offensive linemen that have gone done.

“You hope you have depth there”. I would say I’m not the easiest guy to play with. But a series of weird play calls worked against Houston. “That’s not this crew”, Andy Reid said. According to Comcast Sportsnet New England, Edelman is absolutely going to have to adjust his playing style. That’s what they did to us, that’s kind of a winning formula for them. Ben Roethlisberger’s status is up in the air for next weekend, but I have to think he finds a way to play.
