Heading into the Kansas City Chiefs' divisional round of the playoffs, tight end Travis Kelce is blocking out the outside noise.

Recently, former NFL head coach and current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan made some critical remarks about the Chiefs, such as there being "three or four" teams better than them. He also said that Kansas City is more vulnerable this year in the playoffs.

Appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Monday, Kelce spoke about how the team finds ways to win games and even took a shot at Ryan for his comments.

Travis Kelce said:

"We're finding different ways to win and more ways to win. I think last year, we dealt with finding ways to lose, and we've got a lot of confidence and a lot of guys that are willing to go the extra mile. We've heard all the chatter and Rex Ryan saying that we can't win in the playoffs. And 'he's seen it before.' We hear everything and we know what's real."

For what it's worth, Rex Ryan has predicted that the Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Houston Texans this weekend.

The first of four divisional-round playoff games next weekend will feature the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium at 4:00 p.m. ET.

Holding the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Chiefs earned the No. 1 seed, having a bye this past weekend and getting more rest. The Texans surprised some people by handling the Los Angeles Chargers 32-13 to set up a date with the Chiefs.

To no surprise, Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs come into Saturday's game as 7.5-point favorites, with them being favored -425 on moneyline. Vegas believes heavily in Kansas City.

In the other divisional round matchup in the AFC, the Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens. Winner of that game will meet the winner of the Chiefs-Texans game in the AFC Championship game the following weekend.

The two teams played earlier this season with the Chiefs winning 27-19. Who do you have winning Saturday's game?
