The Facts: In the lowest scoring game in Super Bowl history, there was no clear player -- on offense, defense or special teams -- to whom to award the Most Valuable Player. Such was the nature of the New England Patriots' complementary victory. But someone had to claim the prize, and on Sunday evening, that man was Edelman.

Diehards Line: The diminutive receiver finished with a game-high 10 catches for 141 yards. Always in the right place in the right time, eight of Edelman's receptions led to first-down pick-ups. Though eight of Edelman's 10 receptions came in the first half, when New England scored just three points, his final grab was the second play on the Patriots' five-play game-winning touchdown drive midway through the fourth quarter. In winning the MVP award, Edelman became just the second Patriots player not named Tom Brady to secure the honor (Deion Branch, XXXIX).
