New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick spoke Tuesday ahead of their playoff match up against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback:

"Well Coach talks about the turnover margin that's been heavily in their favour, especially in their wins down the stretch. I think they do a great job of complementary football. I think we've always tried to play complementary football. When they get turnovers they turn them into points, and when you turn them into points, they're good in the kicking game and when they're good in the kicking game, the defence can tee off. Like I said the other day, it kind of creates this snowball effect and the game is out of hand and just what happened last week to Houston. Before you know it, they have a seven-point lead on the opening kickoff and then you already feel like, 'Man we've got to start getting back into this game.' You don't want to be down 14-0 in the middle of the second quarter. That's not the way to play this team."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tom Brady, New England Patriots quarterback:

"I think they get a full dose of it year-round. I would say I'm not the easiest guy to play with. I think there are a lot of high expectations and I try to put a lot of pressure on everybody to get the best out of us."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bill Belichick, New England Patriots coach:

"Obviously we're facing a team this week that's as hot as any team in the league, playing really well in all three phases of the game, well coached, great organisation, have a lot of great players and they're playing extremely well. It's a big challenge for us here. We all have a lot of work to do. Certainly the last time we played them wasn't a very pretty night for us, so hopefully we can be more competitive this week."
