4. Aqib Talib pick-six

McCourty won’t have the only pick-six in this game. Former Patriots cornerback Talib will make a truly outstanding play on a well-thrown ball by Brady, and he will take it the distance right before halftime.

Earlier this week, Talib dished out some respect for his former teammate, as shown below.

I asked Aqib Talib who's tougher to face in the postseason, Ben or Brady. Said both are great, "But nobody is above Tom. Nobody."

Speaking of due for a big play, Talib is just that. After starting out the first month and a half on a tear with three interceptions (two of which were pick-sixes), Talib has been a bit quiet on the statistical front. He hasn’t picked off a pass in three months, dating back to the Broncos’ win over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 18.

Talib is one of the better cornerbacks in the league when it comes to the return game after making an interception.
