Here's the thing.
The Patriots often rough up WR's. The hold Travis Kelce all the time. They do it well, and it doesn't get called.
If our DB's have a primary weakness, it's defensive holding/PI.
The Patriots are going to mug our guys, it's a given. But if the refs are letting them play a little bit because it's the playoffs, our DBs will get to do the same thing.
So while it's not an advantage for the Chiefs, it at least levels the playing field.
