The two most prolific postseason coaches in NFL history square off Sunday when the Chiefs meet the New England Patriots.

Bill Belichick, who took over at New England in 2000, has coached (44) and won (31) more playoff games than anyone else.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid ranks second on both lists with 38 games and 22 victories in his time in Kansas City and with the Philadelphia Eagles.
