We spent all Thursday breaking down the AFC playoff matchups this week and for the Patriots perspective, we went out to Kevin Duffy of MassLive.com.

Duffy gave us updates on the Chandler Jones situation as well as update on how Julian Edelman has looked. Is he 100 percent having not played since the Pats beat the Giants?

Rob Gronkowski was also getting an injection into his knee on Thursday. Is there something to be worried about there regarding the Pats' tight end?

Duffy predicted the Pats to win the game, but says he thinks it will be close. The key for me will be how the Pats can protect Tom Brady and how they can counter the Chiefs vaunted pass rush. Matt Verderame of Arrowhead Addict told us the pass rush will be the key to the game.

The Patriots and Chiefs play at 4:35 on Saturday afternoon.
