This is the high-stakes matchup the AFC has been building towards for years. It's a rubber match as Andy Reid's Chiefs are 2-2 against Bill Belichick's Patriots since 2014. It was a Monday night massacre (41-14) at Arrowhead back in 2014 that led some to believe that the Patriots' dynasty was over. New England rebounded to win Super Bowl XLIX while the Chiefs (9-7) missed the playoffs. In 2015, the teams met in the divisional round of the playoffs in New England, and the Chiefs didn't have the offense to keep up in a 27-20 loss. It looked like a better Kansas City team would return for a rematch in the 2016 AFC Championship Game, but the Steelers ended that season at Arrowhead in an 18-16 game and the Patriots won another Super Bowl.
