Belichick is 20-3 at home in the playoffs, he's 3-4 on the road.
The last time the Patriots have won a road AFC Championship was 2004, they've lost 3 since (all to Peyton Manning).
The Patriots were 3-5 on the road this season with wins against the Bills, Jets, and Bears. Losses against the Jags, Lions, Titans, Dolphins, and Steelers.
Arrowhead remains one of the toughest places to play for road teams.
The Chiefs beat the Colts last week in a bad weather game. The Colts, by the way, used the same strategy you described in the Wild Card Round to beat the Texans; ram Marlon Mack down their throat.
