The doubts about the health of the New England Patriots, about a shaky end to their regular season in which they lost four of their final six games and about their about off-field distractions being a problem — they were all wiped away.

The Patriots controlled the Kansas City Chiefs in a 27-20 victory Saturday in the divisional round of the playoffs. With the result, the Patriots have booked their ticket to next Sunday’s AFC championship game against the winner of the game between the Denver Broncos and the Pittsburgh Steelers. It puts New England one victory away from a return trip to the Super Bowl.

The Patriots (13-4) are trying to become the first team to win back-to-back NFL titles since they did it in 2003-04. But first they will meet the winner of Sunday’s game between the Steelers and Broncos for a spot in Super Bowl 50.

Las dudas sobre la salud de los Patriotas de Nueva Inglaterra quedaron resultas despues de la victoria 27-20 sobre los Jefes de Kansas city el sabado en la ronda de los playoffs deivisionales. Ahora los Patriotas se mediran el proximo domingo con el ganador entre Denver-Pittsburg, lo que pone a NewEngland a una victoria de regresar al Super Bowl….y lo pone en la quinta final consecutiva por el titulo de la AFC…

Los Patriotas con marca de 13-4 intentaran ser el primer equipo en ganar los titulos de la NFL desde que lo hicieran en el 2003-04.
