Tom Brady throws two touchdowns to Rob Gronkowski and scores on a run to help the Patriots end Kansas City’s 11-game winning streak with a 27-20 victory.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots’ late-season slump didn’t mean much when the playoffs came to New England. Kansas City’s 11-game winning streak mattered even less.
With Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman coming back from injuries to help Tom Brady return to his Super Bowl MVP form, the Patriots earned a spot in the AFC title game for the fifth year in a row, beating the Chiefs 27-20 on Saturday.
“It’s pretty special to get back to another AFC Championship Game,” said Brady, who will play for the conference title for the 10th time in his career.
