The New England Patriots are heading to the Super Bowl for the 10th time.

The Patriots weren't at their best on Sunday night in Foxboro, but they were clearly the better team against the Jacksonville Jaguars and won the AFC Championship Game 24-20.

With all of the talk of Tom Brady's hand injury, he was the MVP of this game for sure. He went 26-for-38 for 290 yards and two fourth quarter touchdowns to put the Jaguars aside.

There weren't a ton of players who beat their Projected Fantasy Points total in this one, but Brady was one of them. Danny Amendola was incredibly quiet for most of this game, but things changed in a hurry when he caught both of Brady's touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Blake Bortles played the game of his life. He failed to beat his PFP total in spite of the fact that he went 23-for-36 for 293 yards and a touchdown.

Leonard Fournette also fell just short of his PFP total even though he had a strong game against a good New England defense, running for 76 yards and a touchdown.
