I understand playoff performance since you are at least in the playoffs and there is more of a focus on win you keep going and lose you are done. at same time we should count games that actually lead to making the playoffs or being knocked out of them in regular season with higher importance if you are just going to look at prime-time games
Prime time games are as close to a playoff atmosphere as it gets. Stadiums are amped, the entire nation is watching, plus the level of competition is usually higher. You're usually facing playoff teams or divisional opponents in prime time. Plus it eliminates subjectivity. Not everyone is going to agree on what constitutes a "big game".
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
