The (12-4-0) New England Patriots will host the (12-5-0) Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL playoffs already started for the Chiefs, coming off a 30-0 victory over the Houston Texans, but this Saturday will kickoff the postseason for the Patriots. Can New England reach its fifth straight conference championship game?
Five straight conference championships would tie the 1973-77 Oakland Raiders for the most in league history. The Raiders went 1-4 in these conference championships, but managed to win the 1976 Super Bowl.
The Patriots are currently tied with the 1967-70 Raiders, 1970-73 and 1992-95 Cowboys, and 1990-93 Bills in second place.
