In the wake of the Chiefs’ dismantling of the Colts yesterday, the Patriots host the Chargers this afternoon to determine which squad will travel to Kansas City next Sunday to play in the AFC Championship Game with a shot to advance to the Super Bowl on the line.
Who’ll be squaring off with Patrick Mahomes & Co. at Arrowhead Stadium next week? Will it be Philip Rivers, as he takes another step toward rectifying the absence of a Super Bowl absence from his Hall of Fame resume, or will Tom Brady and Bill Belichick do what they typically do and keep playing deeper into January?
