Brady’s thoughts: “My first star of the week goes to Jahmyr Gibbs. He balled out with 170 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns. Jahmyr, he was the first Lion to lead the league in touchdowns since Barry Sanders. That’s incredible. What a season for Gibbs and the Lions! They locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Way to go!”

Week 18 stats: 10 receptions, 96 yards, one receiving touchdown in 19-17 win vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Brady’s thoughts: “Next up, it’s Ja’Marr Chase, who capped off a ridiculous season. He had 10 catches for almost 100 yards and a [touchdown] on Saturday. Congrats to Ja’Marr, who won the receiving triple crown this year. That’s right. He led the league and catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Incredible stuff.”

Week 18 stats: Nine receptions, 89 receiving yards, cracked 1,000 yards receiving for 11th straight season in 27-19 win vs. New Orleans Saints

Brady’s thoughts: “My final star of the week goes to none other than Mike Evans. On the final play of the game on Sunday, Mike went for over 1,000 yards [on the season]. That’s the 11th consecutive season he’s done so. He tied Jerry Rice for an all-time record. What a season, what a career it’s been for my guy!

“Mike, I’m looking forward to watching you in the playoffs. Great job.”
