Analysis: Jaguars just not on same level as Brady  Belichick
Brady
The Jacksonville Jaguars frittered away a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in losing 24-20 to  Tom Brady  and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game  yet their unraveling really began in the final 2Â½ minutes of the first half.
Danny Amendola's fair catch of Brad Nortman's punt at his 14 came with 2:02 remaining  which essentially gave  Brady  and Belichick an extra timeout with which to work.
On first-and-10 from his 40   Brady  threw a long pass for Rob Gronkowski  who was injured when  he  got popped by Barry Church on a helmet-to-helmet hit. Church was called for unnecessary roughness  putting the ball at the Jacksonville 45.
 Brady  started pushing the ball downfield to  his  receivers and the New England defense took away the short middle and dared Bortles to start making plays downfield  too.
While Bortles managed a single first down in the fourth quarter   Brady  came through with a pair of TD throws to Amendola.
Amendola had the crucial catch on the first TD drive  hauling in a 21-yard pass from  Brady  on third-and-18 in front of safety Tashaun Gipson  who said he figures he'd break up that pass nine out of 10 times.
It was  vintage Brady   too.
" He  is the greatest quarterback to ever play this game " Gipson said. "You can never have a safe lead with 12 at the helm. We knew we had to keep our foot on the gas."
The Patriots' comeback set up a Super Bowl 52 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles  who were miffed last week when the NFL mistakenly released an ad that featured  Brady  and Case Keenum with the Super Bowl trophy between  them   signifying a New England-Minnesota matchup.
Instead  it'll be Nick Foles and the Eagles  who routed the Vikings 38-7 in the NFC championship game  trying to dethrone  Brady  and the Patriots.
