WHAT TO LOOK FOR
-- Bill Belichick tonight will move into first place on the all-time list of playoff games as a head coach. He is currently tied with Tom Landry and Don Shula. Belichick's playoff record is 26-10, compared to 20-16 for Landry and 19-17 for Shula.
-- The Patriots are looking to qualify for an unprecedented seventh straight conference championship game appearance.
TOM BRADY
-- With a victory tonight, Brady will move past Terry Bradshaw into third place on the NFL's all-time list of QB winning percentage in the playoffs. Brady is currently 25-9 (.735), and he can overtake Bradshaw (14-5, .737) by beating Titans. The Packers' Bart Starr (9-1, .900) is tops overall among quarterbacks with 10 more games, and the Raiders' Jim Plunkett (8-2, .800) is second.
-- Brady is 11-2 in the divisional round. In this round, he has completed 316 of 509 pass attempts for 3,700 yards and 26 touchdowns.
MORE RECORDS
-- With 15 points tonight, Stephen Gostkowski (160 points scored in the postseason) will tie David Akers (175) for second place on the list of all-time points scored in the playoffs. Adam Vinatieri (234) is in first place.
-- If Rob Gronkowski has a 100-yard receiving game tonight, he will tie Vernon Davis and Keith Jackson for most 100-yard games in the playoffs by a tight end. He will also tie Deion Branch and Julian Edelman for most 100-yard games by a Patriots receiver in the playoffs.
-- A 100-yard game will also enable Gronkowski to move past Dallas Clark into first place on the list of receiving yards in the playoffs by a tight end. Clark has 847 yards and Gronkowski is currently fourth with 754, trailing Clark, Jackson (834) and Shannon Sharpe (814).
