Edelman calls AFC title win 'cute,' but Super Bowl where 'real fun is'

Receiver Julian Edelman imparted some wisdom to keep teammate Sony Michel focused following the New England Patriots' win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week.

"This is cute," Edelman said of winning the AFC Championship, according to NESN's Doug Kyed. "We win that next one, that's where the real fun is. That's where you'll always be a champion. This is cute. This is awesome. Don't get me wrong. But the next one. Let's go."

Michel and Edelman were vital in the Patriots' 37-31 victory. The rookie had 29 carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns while the two-time Super Bowl champion hauled in seven catches for 96 yards.

Edelman will be making his fourth Super Bowl appearance when the Patriots take on the Los Angeles Rams on Feb. 3. He missed last year's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles after tearing his ACL during the preseason.
