Julian Edelman is no stranger to coming up big in the postseason and against the Texans Saturday night, the veteran put together yet another strong outing.

Guys on the couch who are hurt or have seen their teams be eliminated during the postseason tend to talk a lot on Twitter for some reason, and Seattle’s Earl Thomas felt the need to take some shots at Patriots quarterback Tom Brady during New England’s battle with Houston Saturday night.

Saturday night didn’t go quite the way they hoped it would, but despite a multitude of miscues on their part along with some good moments by Houston, the Patriots find themselves heading to a record sixth-straight AFC Championship next Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Winning in the postseason is never easy no matter who you are and now that the Texans have one win under their belt, fans of the team in Houston are a little bit limited with their optimism considering the next obstacle has the New England Patriots as their next opponent.

Tom Brady held a Facebook Live session on Saturday as he left fans wondering what social network he’d be joining next, and after putting up a counter to countdown to the announcement, when it zero, he told the world what network you’ll be able to find him on next.

Here are some thoughts and predictions of this weekend’s games.

Looking at the final totals from this season, it was interesting to see how all of the opposing passers the Patriots faced this season matched up.

Wrapping up the regular season totals, here’s a rundown of which Patriots receivers had the most third down receptions and conversions both overall and down in the red zone from Tom Brady in 2016.

Looking back at 2016, Brady is coming off an impressive season, but one of the things that stood out was his success down in the red area.

For a player who missed a quarter of the season, Tom Brady hit the ground running and never looked back in 2016 as he finished with one of his best statistical seasons of his career.

Saturday night is definitely all right, and the Patriots will be front and center as they begin their playoff run in two weeks.

Josh McDaniels and Nick Caserio are reportedly among candidates the 49ers are interested to fill their head coach and GM vacancies.

Martellus Bennett is a really big fan of winning. In fact he equates it with another activity that is “fun” for him.

LeGarrette Blount is no stranger to opposing players taking cheap shots at him, and on Sunday down in Miami he got locked up in a heated exchange with Ndamukong Suh over a similar incident.

The Patriots have had one of the deepest groups at receiver this season, and despite recent injuries it looks like they’ll still be in good shape as they prepare to face the Dolphins this weekend.
