In the end, after a series of upsets throughout the bracket, it was still a final of the two top seeds: Julian Edelman vs. Rob Gronkowski.
And when voting closed on Monday in Boston.com’s bracket to decide who was Tom Brady’s most valuable Patriots teammate, Edelman stood victorious.
With an 80 percent margin, Edelman defeated Gronkowski in the final. It was the end of a winding road for the bracket, which began a week ago.
A few notable upsets occurred, including:
- 11th seeds Matthew Slater and Logan Mankins upset six seeds Dan Koppen and Nate Solder in the first round
- In the Round of 16, each three seed upset the second seed.
