The New England Patriots are seeking their fifth AFC Championship appearance in a row. The Kansas City Chiefs are simply trying to get there for the first time in 22 years.

But while the Pats stand tall in the historical comparison, the Chiefs enter as the hottest team in the NFL. With the league’s second-best turnover-margin, a hard-nosed running game and a defense that features four Pro Bowlers, Kansas City has won 11 in a row after starting the season 1-5.

New England, meanwhile, comes in with just two wins in its past six games. Injuries played a big part in that late-season disappointment, though, and Bill Belichick hopes the team will be a full strength following the bye week.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch the AFC divisional round showdown:
