ATLANTA — Julian Edelman was forced to watch only as a spectator as his disappointed Patriots teammates trudged off the field a year ago as Super Bowl losers.
Catch after catch in this one, Tom Brady's favorite wide receiver helped make them winners again.
Edelman had 10 receptions for 141 yards and was selected as the Super Bowl MVP while helping lift the Patriots to a 13-3 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.
The two met at midfield with confetti flying, and embraced for several moments — eyes filled with the tears of champions.
