Divisional Round Stats of the Week

Stat of the week No. 1: This is just the 3rd time in NFL playoff history that all four winning quarterbacks in a playoff weekend had a passer rating over 100. In the 2007 Divisional Round, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, Phillip Rivers and Eli Manning did it. It also happened in the 1982 Wild Card Round with David Woodley (MIA vs. NE), Joe Theismann (WAS vs. DET), Lynn Dickey (GB vs. STL) and Dan Fouts (SD vs. PIT).

Stat of the week No. 2: Aaron Rodgers has directed two of the three highest-scoring performances by a road team in NFL postseason history. In the process, the Packers became the fifth team in playoff history to score at least 28 points in a single quarter.

Stat of the week No. 3: The Steelers improved to 12-1 at home in the divisional round since 1970.

Stat of the week No. 4: The N.Y. Jets are the first team in NFL history to get at least two road wins in consecutive postseasons.

Stat of the week No. 5: In their last three postseason games, the Seahawks have allowed the most, second-most and third-most points they’ve ever allowed in a postseason game (42 points allowed in 2007 Divisional game, 36 points allowed in 2010 Wild Card game and 35 points allowed in 2010 Divisional game).
