Most of the focus in the mid-west is on Andy Reid mismanaging the clock – but only a minority recognized the reality that the Patriots outplayed the Chiefs. Forget the time issues for a moment; was Reid lulled into an improper game plan based on New England’s final game(s) of the season?

New England’s earlier meeting against Denver didn’t turn out too well, but this rematch should be quite different compared to their first battle.

Here are some terrific photos from Saturdays’ Divisional Playoff Win over Kansas City.

Andy Reid told the media on Sunday there were some minor issues that he explained were in the first half, but said they were minor and didn’t seem to believe it was anything out of the ordinary.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid walked away telling his team to remember this if they want to get to their level.

The league released the playing time totals from both teams, and here’s a quick rundown of the snap counts for the Patriots on both sides of the football from yesterday’s game.

Edelman did have some early drops, but his mere presence galvanized the Patriot offense Saturday during the Patriots win over Kansas City.

Brady was sharp, completing 28 of 42 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns on the day. His numbers would have been even better had not the Patriots suffered a case of the drops especially in the first half.

Phil Simms quote, “Look, we know Kansas City is tough, but New England, they’re a tough team and they play for 60 minutes. A lot of teams say they can play for 60 minutes but my question is: They (NE), will play for 60 mins. Can You?”

Tom Brady speaks to the media following their win over Kansas City in Saturday’s AFC Divisional Playoff victory.

Wide receiver Julian Edelman proved exactly why he’s such a difference-maker on Saturday against the Chiefs.

Edelman is particularly effective at getting open at the line of scrimmage and allowing Brady to get the ball out quickly which helps an offensive line that is battered, bruised and has been leaky down the stretch.

The Patriots will play their first postseason game today against the Chiefs at Gillette Stadium.
