Anthony Deion Branch, Jr. (born July 18, 1979 in Albany, Georgia) is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Patriots in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He played college football at Louisville.

He has also played for the Seattle Seahawks. Branch was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXXIX on February 6, 2005, after tying former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice and former Cincinnati Bengals tight end Dan Ross for the Super Bowl reception record with 11 catches for 133 yards. He was the first receiver to win the award since 1989.

Deion Branch's First touchdown of the season. Sorry about the camera moving a lot. Also when Matt did a play action fake I got tricked that it was a run so at the end I just turned off the camera when Branch catches the ball in the endzone.

FOXBOROUGH -- Antonio Cromartie stood at the podium in a plain white t-shirt. He was triumphant but reserved in his comments. There were no "I told you so's" coming out of out his mouth after his Jets eliminated the Patriots, 28-21, before a stunned Gillette Stadium crowd. For once, he just let his actions speak on the field. And did they ever. He shadowed Deion Branch for most of the game, making a key 4th down stop on 4th and 13 at the Jets 34 as Brady looked for Branch on the left sideline. Branch was targeted 10 times but caught just five balls for 59 yards and nothing deep. "Our whole thing was just going out and doing the things that we needed to do," Cromartie said in a very calm, relaxed tone. "I think we had success this game and got [Tom] Brady all frustrated. [We] got him moving outside the pocket. We felt like once he moved outside the pocket that he wasn't as accurate as a passer. We just did the things that we needed to do, and we went out and scored points. We caused turnovers and things like that, and that's what you have to do." What Cromartie and the Jets caused Sunday was chaos, sacking Brady five times, knocking into him several other times and picking him off for the first time since mid-October. Brady completed 29-of-45 passes for 299 yards but was hardly comfortable all game. As a matter of fact, it was the collective effort of Cromartie and Darrelle Revis on Branch and Wes Welker that gave Brady no open receivers for most of the afternoon. Before <b>...</b>
