Chris Henry's presence was the key to our passing game.  Without him in the lineup teams rolled double coverage to Chad and shut us down.

Henry was injured in the 8th game of the season. Look at the difference in production.

First 8 games 4 of our opponents were top ten in pass defense and 6 were in top half of the league.  Avg rank was 13
Final 8 games only 1 opponent was top ten in pass defense and only 2 in top half of league.  Avg rank 20

First 8 games we averaged 229 yds passing with 14 tds and a rating of 83.5
Final 8 games we averaged 143 yds passing with 7 tds and a rating of 74.7

Overall our total offense went from #12 over the first 8 games to dead last (#32) over the last 8 games.

So, yes, The difference between the #12 offense to the #32 offense (against weaker defenses) was most likely the difference between a win and a loss in that playoff game.  We ran the Ball very Well with Benson, but our passing attack was non-existent.(18-36, 146 yds, 1 td, 1 int, 58.3 rating)
