The Patriots were favored in every game this season and postseason. They were favored in every game in 2017, regular season and postseason. They were favored in every game in 2016 except two games during Tom Brady‘s Deflategate suspension. And they were never an underdog in 2015. But they’re not favored now.
New England is a 3-point underdog at Kansas City on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game, and that makes this the first time since 2014 that Tom Brady has played a game in which he was the underdog

No, not really, I'm sure all quarterbacks have their team staff deflate footballs.
It wasn't Brady...it was Putin.
When Brady gets a chip on his shoulder, watch out.
Tom Brady has always made doubters eat their words.
Get back to me in five years and we’ll see how good Mahomes is.
Teams will have a full off-season to scout Mahomes and figure him out.
the sad thing is... he does.
makes me hate the guy even more.
I enjoyed the 2012 Superbowl :)
This is not a great, or even a very good Patriots team. Brady is phenomenal, still. He’s had to carry this team on his back this year.
I expect a close game. Would not surprise me if KC wins, nor would it surprise me if the Pat’s win.
Tom Brady gets flustered easily.
Especially when he is rushed and hurried.
That’s the book around the league on Brady.

Apparently a book few opposing coaches have read.
The NY Jets won the 1969 Super Bowl with Joe (”I guarantee it”) Namath. The Chiefs won it in 1970 over the Vikings.
I am definitely not laughing. I think your team has a good quarterback. Thanks for the clarification and I hope you have a better season starting in September 2019.
That’s the book on every great quarterback. Get pressure up the middle rushing 4, hit em, get them off their timing. That’s how you beat Brady, Brees, Manning, etc etc etc. Sounds easy. And yet...
One time someone asked Brady if he was intimidated by large crowds. He reminded them he played in front of 100,000 in Michigan.
Loud stadiums are really not an issue.
I am just sick of the hype over their ages. They are both wonderful players.
I hope it’s fun.
Get in his space, and it holds.
I want the Pats to win another Super Bowl but I don’t think it’s in the cards this year. My prediction at the start of the year was the Saints against the Chiefs, with Brees winning his 2nd ring. Saints have a good defense and a great offense. Chiefs a great offense but I think the Saints will be able to slow down the Chiefs offense and win by 10 points,
