Brady and Mahomes get plenty of attention, but they can’t do it alone. Patriots running back James White tied Darren Sproles’ postseason record with 15 catches in their 41-28 divisional victory over the Chargers, while Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman remain dangerous threats. The Chiefs counter with the pass-catching trio of speedy Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins and sure-handed Travis Kelce. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File)
