In 3 Up 3 Down, the segment where Bedard and Tony Mazz give their three studs and three duds from the game, Bedard heaped effusive praise upon Julian Edelman for his outstanding performance Sunday night, hauling in nine catches for 109 yards and one touchdown.
"He was the best player on the field but he wasn't most valuable, but my number one player from the game was Julian Edelman. He was the best player on the field for both teams in that game," said Bedard.

"He did a lot of things in this game, and he's done lot of things since he ascended to being the starter after Wes Welker left and Danny Amendola went down; he does things Wes Welker cannot do, especially after the catch and even some of his routes, like the touchdown route? Wes can run that return route, but not as well as Julian can. Julian shakes guys out of his boots."
