The New England Patriots<\/a> were a force in the AFC during the regular season, but they enter the playoffs with plenty to prove.<\/p>\n

Drake Maye, potentially the league’s MVP in only his second season, will make his playoff debut on Sunday night when the Patriots host the Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> and play for a trip to the divisional round.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for Maye, he can lean on some coaches who have been in this position before. Head coach Mike Vrabel went to the playoff three times with the Tennessee Titans<\/a>, while offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels called plays during long stretches of Patriots dominance with Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

While Justin Herbert brings more NFL experience to the table, he is also looking for his first playoff win. Herbert is 0-2 in his playoff career, but he is hoping the combination of a terrific defense and previous playoff mistakes can help him get over the hump in his third appearance.<\/p>\n
