On the atmosphere and crowd on Monday night...
"We welcome people into that atmosphere. The Sea of Red is something when it gets cranking. I have this feeling that they're probably going to set a new record. It's going to be a lot of red and we look forward to it and bringing the Patriots in here and letting them enjoy that part of it."
- Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid

On the Patriots...*
"Their offensive line is trying to find itself right now, but that is a good team over there. They have a good leader and he can motivate anybody."
*- Chiefs Defensive Lineman Kevin Vickerson
"They're tough. Coach Belichick does a good job getting his guys ready to go. One thing about them is they always finish good. All four quarters it's going to be a tough game. A physical game. It's going to be fun."
- Chiefs Cornerback Sean Smith
On the challenge that Chandler Jones presents...
"Certainly his length definitely stands out on film, especially [when] you see him moving around. He plays inside against guards, he bounces outside, he's getting on tight ends and disrupting. He is very disruptive I think because of his length at whatever he's doing, whether he's rushing the passer or on a tight end or inside. His length is such a great advantage, so he can definitely be disruptive with it. How to combat that, for me, I'm trying not to focus on that – I'm looking downfield. But for the team, he's certainly somebody that kind of commands some attention, that's for sure. "
- Chiefs Quarterback Alex Smith
"Chandler is a good football player, and he does have great length and again, he's using that very well this year. We've got to make sure … Obviously he's not the only good player on that team. They've got a whole bunch of them. But he's definitely one that you've got to know where he's at."
- Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid
On Darrelle Revis...
"Certainly he is a tremendous player. Certainly when he's manned up, a very, very good player. You've seen the last couple weeks [he's] matched the opposing team's best receiver and for the most part has had a lot of success. He's good, he's physical, he's fast, he's smart, and you can see all those on film, so it's a pretty dangerous combination when you have all that."
- Chiefs Quarterback Alex Smith
