The interception helped seal Tampa Bay's win as it advanced to the NFC title game against the Green Bay Packers.
There was speculation after the game that it might have been the final pass of the 42-year-old Brees' career. “I’m going to give myself the opportunity to process the season just like I did last year," Brees said afterward.
Edwards, a 2014 Winton Woods grad, is in his second season with the Buccaneers after being a third round draft pick from the University of Kentucky. He picked off two passes for Tampa Bay in the regular season.
