As yes, the Tim Tebow game. Brady outclassed the gadget quarterback by posting a 137.6 quarterback rating, the second-highest of all his 29 playoff starts. Meanwhile, Tebow completed just nine of 26 passes for 136 yards.

This game was a coming-out party for Rob Gronkowski on the playoff stage, as the second-year pro caught 10 of his 12 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns. Aaron Hernandez, Branch and Welker were on the receiving end of the other half of Brady’s touchdown passes.
