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.

I agree with all of the above, and took that into account. I still think this is a slight advantage to NE since BB is famous for it. Granted KC can make NE pay for missing at the line more than NE can exploit KC. So, that may even it all out...
