I'd have to disagree here, only in the sense of playoff football is usually about your passing attack and defense, not running. The team who ends up passing the ball better usually ends up winning. There is very little correlation to a strong running performance and playoff success. Since 2010, we can only explain 3.5% of the difference in playoff victories if we look at the running game performance. When we look at passing game performance, we can explain about 25.5% of the difference in playoff victories. That's a massively significant difference.
You get into the playoffs and you throw the ball well and play good defense, you have a better chance of winning games. Yesterday is a prime example of this.
