Check out how Brady's 3 Stars of Week 16 performed, with the GOAT's full analysis below!

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor 

Week 16 stats: 29 carries, 218 yards, 7.5 yards per carry, three rushing touchdowns in a 38-30 win over the Tennessee Titans

Brady's thoughts: "My first star of the week goes to Jonathan Taylor. He absolutely balled out. It was a must-win game for the Colts. He ran for over 200 yards and three TDs. Dude's a threat to score from anywhere on the field. He had two long TD runs in that game.

"That's the definition of putting the team on your back. What a day, Jonathan. Way to go."

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson

Week 16 stats: 10 receptions, 144 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns in a 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks

Brady's thoughts: "Next up, Justin Jefferson. He was unstoppable on Sunday in Seattle. He went off. He had 10 catches. He had 144 yards. He had two touchdowns. He came up so clutch when it mattered the most. Sam Darnold looked his way on the game-winning score.

"Let's see if the Packers secondary has any answers for JJ this week. I doubt it."

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard

Week 16 stats: 25 carries, 152 yards, 6.1 yards per carry, two rushing touchdowns in a 36-30 win (OT) over the Arizona Cardinals

Brady's thoughts: "My final star of the week goes to Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard. He got rewarded with a contract extension early in the season — much deserved, and he has earned every penny. He rushed for over 150 yards with two touchdowns, including a walk-off TD in overtime against Arizona. 

"Yeah, it's been a tough year for Carolina, but Chuba has been outstanding."
