I think you can even consider Kansas City last year to be a part of this discussion. Who knows what would have happened had Matt Moore not played as well as he did.
He was 2-1 in the 3 game stretch he played in. Had 100.9 QB rating, with zero turnovers.
Had they imploded and lost either or both of those games they would have dropped in seeding. They could have been faced with having to play in the Wild Card round, and winning an extra game. And they may have lost the home field advantage they enjoyed throughout the playoffs.
