Tom Brady proved he’s the master of second half come backs, as the New England Patriots (once again) came from behind to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20 to win the AFC Championship and advance to Super Bowl 52.
A post shared by TSN (@tsn_official) on
Tom Brady, Bill Billichuk and the Pats advanced to their eight Super Bowl in the last 17 seasons. The Seattle Seahawks are second to them with three appearances.
Down 20-10 entering the fourth quarter with nine minutes to play, Brady did what Tom Brady does, and finished the fourth quarter with 138 yards and found Danny Amendola twice in the end zone on two separate occasions to propel the Pats for a shot at their sixth Super Bowl since 2003.
Here’s some of the best reaction from the world wide web.

No great team has ever relied as much on one player as these #Patriots do. And he's forty years old. Tom Brady is the greatest football player that ever lived. I'm not sure it's even debatable anymore. #AFCChampionship

Blake Bortles played about as well as he could play, but the fact is the Jags lost because they tried to win by game planning around the QB. Hard to win that way against a team like New England.

Blake Bortles played a really nice football game. Jags run game was solid. Jags D hit Brady, forced NE into a bunch of 3rd and long situations. All those things that HAD to happen for Jax... and the Pats still find a way. You just gotta tip your hat. Respect. #JAXvsNE

Blake Bortles played very well today. I’m excited to see him next year.

#Patriots now are the 5th franchise in North American major pro team sports to make 10 championship finals in their respective league since 1966 (the 1st season in Super Bowl history), joining the Lakers (22), Canadiens (13), Celtics (12), Yankees (11)

This is how great the Pats are: a team just blew a 10 point lead and they’re being praised. Opponents get participation badges against NE.

The Patriots were called for 1 penalty against the Jaguars
— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) January 21, 2018
It is the fewest penalties called on one team in a playoff game since the 2011 AFC Championship... when the Patriots were called for 1 penalty in a win over the Ravens
Tom Brady today passed Joe Montana & Troy Aikman for the most multi-TD passing games (5) in Conference Championship history (since they began with 1970 AFL-NFL merger)
— StatsCentre (@StatsCentre) January 21, 2018
Brady improves to 8-0 vs JAX & passes Brett Favre for the most playoff wins after age 40. This also gives the #Patriots their 18th consecutive home win over an AFC South opponent https://t.co/ArO4aEWhnx

Patriots silence the Jaguars. Tom Brady is headed to the Super Bowl again.
