NFL playoffs

All the odds are stacked against them

edit: 12.6 points, not 21.6 points

edit: GPG

As a Pats homer I've always thought Gronkowski was the better TE, but even I have to admit Kelce is making one hell of an argument by aging so gracefully.

Playoff appearances:

1999-2000: Manning

2001-2007: Brady & Manning

2008: Peyton

2009-2022: Brady (& Manning at times too)

Really is the start of a new era of QBs going forward

(And yes, I'm aware this was going to be the case even before the season started, just thought it would be fun to share now that the playoffs are actually here and Brady didn't decide to unretire again)

In European soccer the league champion is declared by the team with the best overall record. The next tie breaker is goal differential. Then finally goals scored. Here’s who would’ve won every NFL championship in the Super Bowl era had it been decided like European soccer.
