The New England Patriots are still the team to beat in the AFC. Tom Brady and company made easy work of the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. As a result, they are now only one win away from returning to the Super Bowl yet again.

Following the dominant performance over the Chargers in New England, Brady spoke to the media. He mentioned the team’s uncharacteristic underdog label now that they’ll be going up against the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is embracing the underdog role in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, telling CBS in a postgame interview that “everybody thinks we suck and can’t win any games.”

The Patriots will have to go on the road to face the top-seeded Chiefs next weekend. They will also take on one of the best young quarterbacks in the league in Patrick Mahomes who is the favorite to win NFL MVP.

Brady and the Patriots haven’t been the intimidating AFC powerhouse that most are used to on an annual basis. However, New England is still in a familiar position. They were able to prove they can compete with the best of the best by taking down the talented Chargers with ease.

At this point, the New Orleans Saints and Chiefs advancing to the Super Bowl is the most likely scenario, but the Patriots can never be ruled out with Brady under center and head coach Bill Belichick calling the shots.
