We beat the Pats when we sucked so doing it again this sunday won't be any real shock...

I don't think the Patriots went out of their way to pressure Mahomes in the first game. While I highly doubt they will get anywhere near the consistent pressure on him that they got on Rivers, I sure do suspect they will go after him more in this game.
Pretty much any NFL post season team beating another isn't a true shock in this salary cap era.
A few crazy turnovers combined with decent matchup and probably the worst playoff team this year would have a chance of knocking off whoever is the best.
The Patriots have all of those Super Bowls since they have been consistently very good to great but they have lost to inferior teams and beaten superior teams.
