A banged up offense as it is, the Patriots will be forced to cope with Rob Gronkowski's numerous injuries (back, knee) and according to the Boston Herald, the star tight end will play through "a good amount of pain."
#Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (knee, back) will play today vs. #KCChiefs, per @KimJonesSports & me. He'll be in pain, but he'll play.

The Chiefs blitzed through the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round last week, 30-0.
