Belichick's deal with Satan still intact.

Belichick's deal with Satan still intact.

Gronk was rested and ready, and that was the difference. He took it in twice and teamed up with Edelman for 17 catches.

Worth noting:

1. The Chiefs vaunted defense (last week: five turnovers, three sacks) got no sacks, forced no turnovers, allowing Brady free reign. Props to the banged-up Patriots' o-line.

2. That turned out to be very serendipitous for the Pats, because they essentially had no running game at all.

3. Belichick (greatest Bond villain ever?) is now 3-0 in the post-season against teams with win streaks of 10 or more.
