On Sunday, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots met up again with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The location was different, but the result was the same as the Patriots won again. It took overtime to do it, in a 37-31 victory to punch a ticket to Super Bowl 53.
Tom Brady - New England Patriots
Once again, with a game on the line and just two minutes to go, Tom Brady was able to lead his team to a necessary score.

Rex Burkhead - New England Patriots
Burkhead didn't have quite as many yards as his fellow back, as he picked up 41 on 12 carries. However, his two touchdowns were huge. One came with 39 seconds remaining to give the Pats the lead, while his overtime touchdown was the difference in the game.

Edelman didn't have any touchdown receptions, but the receptions he caught in this game were big. He ended up tallying 96 yards on seven receptions, several of which got the Patriots down the field, or advanced the ball on 3rd down situations.
Julian Edelman is good on third down.

Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City struggled to score in the first half and it looked like fans might see a repeat of the beatdown New England gave the Chargers. However, young quarterback Patrick Mahomes dusted himself off and led his team in a furious second-half comeback. Mahomes finished with 295 yards and three touchdowns thrown on 16-for-31 passing.
