Former Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. joined ESPN’s First Take to break down the AFC playoff picture. As is tradition, the discussion revolved around “what team can beat the New England Patriots?” Smith shed some light on who might offer the best competition in the AFC, and why the Patriots are so good at disrupting opposing offenses.
“I think the biggest threat can be, potentially, the Kansas City Chiefs,” Smith said. “I think overall they’re a more well rounded team. I think defensively they create a lot of issues, but then offensively they are very explosive, but they also can become methodical down the field.
