After routing the Texans in the Wild Card round last weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs travel to New England this weekend to take on the Patriots.

After starting 1-5, the Chiefs have ripped off 11 straight wins heading into this matchup.

What are the keys for the Chiefs if they are to win this game? We asked Matt Verderame of Fansided.com and Arrowhead Addict on Thursday as we broke down the AFC.

Verderame says the Chiefs will likely look to spread the field and he likes that the Chiefs have the ability to rush the passer. He says that if the Chiefs can successfully rush the passer, they can make life uncomfortable for Tom Brady and can capitalize on mistakes he makes.

Levack and Andrew Williams asked him for his prediction, and Verderame said that he thinks that the Chiefs will win a close game and that the pass rush will be the difference in the game.
