If they're "One and Done", they're IN the playoffs, so your statement makes no sense.
Now, if your asking "How do they get beyond the Divisional Round?", the answer is by good health to their highest paid players (Berry and Houston), their most talented offensive players (Hill, Kelce and Ware) and for their depth players to be available and healthy during the playoffs.
For the past two seasons, their best players weren't available come playoff time. While they skated by the Texans, Ware and West were injured in NE, Maclin and Houston couldn't play, Hali was hobbled and they had to start two backup offensive lineman.
Last year, Houston was a zero, as was Maclin. West was ineffective all year and Ware was, once again, worn down by the 16 game season.
They need their best players healthy and ready to go to have a shot at the AFC Championship.
