Less than three minutes of game time after Julio Jones made a ridiculous catch, Julian Edelman decided he wanted to one-up him.
Forget Julio Jones! Did Edelman one-up David Tyree!?
Shades of David Tyree….. OMG!!!! #SB51

That’s an incredible play by Edelman, and one that will certainly go down in Super Bowl lore.
