Tom Brady shook off a hand injury and threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola with 2:48 remaining, rallying the Patriots with a comeback victory over the Jags. The Patriots will advance to their 8th Super Bowl for coach Bill Belichick and Brady.
Brady has won five Super Bowls, including last year's 34-28 overtime rally against the Atlanta Falcons.
Brady, wearing a black bandage on his right hand, showed no signs of being hampered. And, with the game -- and possibly the season -- on the line, the Patriots star came up big again.
Brady finished 26 of 38 for 290 yards and two touchdowns for the Patriots (15-3), who'll play the winner of Sunday night's game between Minnesota and Philadelphia in Minneapolis on Feb. 4.
