The New England Patriots go on the road for the AFC Championship Game on Sunday to face the explosive Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
To the surprise of virtually no one, the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are ready to meet on Sunday evening in the AFC Championship Game. These two teams were the top seeds in the conference and clearly the best of the bunch leading up to this matchup with a berth in Super Bowl LIII on the line.
Under Andy Reid, the Chiefs have been unreal on offense this season. Patrick Mahomes’ first season as the starter for this team has made them near unstoppable. Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce continue to be big-time weapons for the Kansas City offense and it’s hard to imagine them slowing down.
Meanwhile, the Patriots have been a little all over the place this season, looking great at times and less so at others. Last week against the Chargers, though, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick looked miles better than they have all year. If they play the way they did in the Divisional Round, they will be hard to beat.
As for this matchup in the AFC Championship Game, these two teams met in a 43-40 affair during the regular season. With these defenses, the chances are that you can expect more of the same. This matchup between the Chiefs and Patriots should be close to an instant classic.

The Chiefs came up short in the regular season against the Patriots, but this is the playoffs. What that actually means, of course, remains to be seen. In the friendly confines of Arrowhead, however, Kansas City might ultimately have the advantage. Then again, we’ll see if Brady, Belichick and the New England way can carry them to the Super Bowl again.
