New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan is now in the record books.

Hogan broke the team's postseason record for most receiving yards in a single game, finishing with 180 yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions, surpassing Deion Branch, who recorded 153 receiving yards against the Denver Broncos in January 2006.

The wide receiver broke Branch's record on a 39-yard reception during the third quarter. Two plays later, LeGarrette Blount punched in a one-yard touchdown.

New England emerged with a 36-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, advancing to Super Bowl LI, where they'll face off against the Atlanta Falcons.
