Tom Brady isn't the only former Michigan quarterback to help lead his team to a win in the NFL playoffs this month.

Henne completed six of eight passes for 66 yards with an interception. But he saved his best for Kansas City's final drive. Henne picked up 13 yards with his legs on a 3rd-and-14 late in the fourth quarter, and on the ensuing fourth down play he completed a game-clinching pass to Tyreek Hill.
Mahomes was thrilled with his backup's performance and celebrated the victory by tweeting the classic Kevin Garnett GIF from the Boston Celtics' 2008 NBA Finals triumph -- but with a Henne-themed hashtag.
Well played, Patrick.
We don't yet know Mahomes' status for next week's AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium. But if Henne does have to start, he should have plenty of self-confidence after his heroics Sunday versus the Browns.
