All games matter...don't they?

Sure, their defense was great in the SB runs, but Eli himself was lights out. Ben has had some pretty rough playoff games and Super Bowls. Fwiw, if I'm picking between the Steelers' D and the Giants' D in the SB years, I'd take the Steelers every time.

Eli has taken some pretty mediocre looking 9-7 teams to the SB, whereas Ben hasn't been back since the Steelers started looking like a normal team.

 

it may not be a fair comparison, but I always thought it was the opposite with the Mannings. Eli seems like regular seasons are just an inconvenience, but makes every play count in the postseason. Peyton played a lot of games at a very high level, but always seemed just a little off in the post season.

Granted a lot of that were their respective teams for the highs and lows.
