The New England Patriots offense could not have asked for a better final four weeks to get back on track. Not only do they get to work out their issues against teams like the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots also get to face one of the worst defenses in the league in the Kansas City Chiefs.

Teams have had a lot of success running the ball against the Chiefs- so this could be a big game for Sony Michel- but the Patriots can only run the ball if they find a way to stifle the potent Chiefs offense and keep the score close. Are the New England defenders up for such a big task?

Also: How will the top teams in the AFC fare over the final four weeks? How will the Patriots defense score this week? Which players are the biggest X Factors on Sunday?

Alec and Rich cover it all. This podcast is available in the iTunes store, Stitcher, TuneIn, BluBrry, Podcast Mirror and via RSS Feed. Please subscribe and comment on what you want to hear about in future podcasts!
