The 5 Best Offensive Players From the Conference Championships
Which player was best in the conference championship round based on the advanced metrics?

1. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons

Rating: 100

Pretty obvious by now, right? Coincidentally, Julio Jones posted the same exact line as Hogan did: 9 catches, 12 targets, 180 yards, and 2 touchdowns.

However, Jones reached 19.06 Reception NEP (again, 17.57 for Hogan). Jones' NFC Championship game performance was the third-best game by Reception NEP all season, ranking behind his own Week 4 performance (25.27 Reception NEP) and Adam Thielen's Week 16 (22.17 Reception NEP).

The title games boasted some of the best passing-game performances we've seen all season from these two teams, and that could make for one of the most memorable Super Bowls ever.
