The Chargers went with 7 DBs against the Ravens and were lauded as geniuses for it since it countered Balt's speed, however this was done out of necessity rather than a premeditated plan. 3 of their ILBs were on IR so this was their best option as opposed to playing clunky 4th, 5th and 6th string ILBs.
I knew that the Patriots would start by establishing a power running game. Lining up in the "I" and running it down their throats, which they did. This also opened the play action game for Brady. Oh, and the Chargers O-Line forgot how to pass protect.
KC should be fine as long as their secondary holds up.
