New England Patriots, Tom Brady

The New England Patriots and Tom Brady are once again the number one seed in the AFC, and no one would have guessed that they would be in this position after the early part of their season.

Brady looked like he was old and washed up, and many were discussing whether or not the Patriots should look to trade him. He has answered those critics in a big way, and is looking to make another run at a Super Bowl. They have played extremely well against teams like the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, and look to do it again in the playoffs.

In 15 regular season games with the Patriots, Brady has thrown for 4,109 yards, 33 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He has completely forced critics to take back their comments from earlier in the year, and is looking to add another ring to his collection.

New England hasn’t looked bad for quite some time now, and they are a legitimate contender in the AFC playoffs. Expect to see them in the AFC championship game, and don’t be surprised if they end up representing the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Next: Denver Broncos, C.J. Anderson
