Wild Card Stats of the Week

Stat of the week No. 1: Since 2005, the NFC West is a combined 9-5 and has won at least one game each postseason. Its collective .643 win percentage is the best divisional postseason record in the NFL during that span.

Stat of the week No. 2: Aaron Rodgers has thrown seven touchdowns in his two career playoff starts, which is the most for any player in NFL history in his first two postseason starts (previous record is six touchdowns held by a group of players including Aaron Brooks, Kurt Warner, Frank Reich and Danny White).

Stat of the week No. 3: After forcing five turnovers against Kansas City, the Ravens have forced at least four turnovers in each of the last three seasons during the wild card round.

Stat of the week No. 4: Dwayne Bowe was not targeted on a single play in Sunday’s Wild Card game. It was the first time all season that happened to the NFL’s leading receiver with 15 touchdowns.

Stat of the week No. 5: Peyton Manning has a 9-10 playoff record in his career.
