Highlights and reactions from the AFC Championship.

The New England Patriots are headed back to the Super Bowl. 

Belichick, Brady, Blount and... Chris Hogan took out the Steelers in the AFC Championship game by the final of 36-17, and will now take on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI in Houston on February 5th. 

Brady was classic Brady throughout the entire game and he once again did it with the help of a little known receiver- this time it was #15 Chris Hogan. Hogan caught nine passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns and he made it look easy, which it was considering the Steelers defense just refused to cover him.

Not only did the defense have trouble containing Hogan and the Pats' offense, but the Steelers offense struggled mightily without Le'Veon Bell who exited the game early with a groin injury and never returned. 

Brady and co. are now just one win away from having the Lombardi trophy handed to them by New England's #1 nemesis, Roger Goodell. 

Check out some of the highlights and reactions from the AFC Championship below.
