Rating: 96

Edelman's quarterback, Tom Brady, did all he needed to do to get the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl in their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He went 32 of 42 for 384 yards and 3 touchdowns, earning him a rating of 96.

Brady tallied a Passing NEP of 23.50, which was his second-best performance of the season. He posted a 25.10 Passing NEP in Week 15.

Don't let that fool you, though. Brady's AFC championship game performance was the ninth-best game by Passing NEP all season, including the playoffs.
