This photo is sick! 🔥🔥🧡💙

[Barry @BarryOnHere]

There have been 60 Super Bowl winning playoff runs by a QB in NFL history. Here is every one of them.

This photo is sorted by the QB's passer rating increase from the regular season to the postseason.

As you might expect, 45 out of 60 times (75.0%), the QB got better and raised their efficiency to help their team win.

Only 15 out of 60 times (25.0%) did the SB winning QB's passer rating get worse in the playoffs. And in those 15 seasons, a certain QB shows up 5 times. But he's not overrated at all.

Enjoy.

Craziest stat for me

The Knicks had the #1, #3, and #5 biggest comeback wins in NBA Finals history

In the same Finals

[Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP]

Best point differential in a single postseason:
2026 Knicks +279
2017 Warriors +230
2014 Spurs +214
2018 Warriors +210
1987 Lakers +205
2001 Lakers +204
1971 Bucks +203

[Knicks Stats @NY_Knicks_Stats]

NBA teams record when trailing by 20+ points in the fourth quarter of playoff game, since 1997

2026 Knicks: 2-0
Rest of NBA: 3-750

[Josh Dubow @JoshDubowAP]

Knicks join these teams to win the first 2 games of NBA Finals on the road:
1995 Rockets vs Magic (swept series)
1993 Bulls vs Suns (won series in 6)

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The Knicks trailed by as many as 14 points in their Game 1 win and as many as 12 in Game 2.

This is the first time a team has recorded double-digit comebacks in each of the first two games of a Finals since 1975, per @ESPNInsights.

[Knicks Stats @NY_Knicks_Stats]

Great note from ESPN

Jalen Brunson is the 1st player since at least 1971 to score final go-ahead points in final 2:00 of back-to-back NBA Finals game

[Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder]

To add a bit of perspective to this:

Take every hit by every member of the 3,000-hit club, add them together, and you've got 2.75% of all hits in MLB history.

Less than the percentage of games called by #Yankees John Sterling, who also called games for the Braves from 1982-87.

[Kevin Devaney Jr. @KDJmedia1]

Best thing you’ll watch today. And I say this as a die hard Mets fan. RIP to the great John Sterling.

[Ian O'Connor @Ian_OConnor]

John Harbaugh does not want Giants who don't want to be Giants. The coach tried to make it work with Dexter Lawrence & w/ Dawn Aponte spoke directly with agent Joel Segal. It wasn't to be. To get the 10th pick for an unhappy player coming off a down year--that's a helluva deal.

[Ian O'Connor @Ian_OConnor]

A week later, as the Giants have executed what sure seems to be a smart & efficient reshaping of the roster, not wasting a single dollar that doesn't need to be spent, it's clear head coach isn't the only position of improvement. The front office got a lot better too.

The 2011 Giants had insane aura😎

[Jermaine Eluemunor @JEluemunor]

I’m back 💙

[Big Blue Vault @bigblue_vault]

Andrew Thomas and Jermaine Eluemunor's 2.95% pressure percentage was the best among LT and RT duos in the entire league last season.

The league's elite OT combo remains.

[Gridiron Media @Gridiron_Media_]

Yes, I'm biased because I watched every snap from that season.

But 2011 Eli Manning was the best quarterbacked season I've ever watched.

That team would have had like 2 wins without him.

[Marshall Green @MarshallGreen_]

Eli Manning should have won MVP in 2011

One of the best QB szn’s EVER

Reg Szn:
9 wins
6 Game Winning Drives
5 4Q comebacks
15 4Q TDs🥇

29 TD, 4,933 pass yds & 308.3 pass ypg

Playoffs:
4 wins
2 GWD
2 4Q comebacks
1,219 pass yards🥇
SB champ & MVP

13 total wins & 8 GWD🤯

[HoldenCantor @HoldenCantor]

Matthew Stafford threw for 8 touchdowns 0 interceptions and 961 yards against this Seahawks defense. Shoutout to the MVP voters that voted Stafford

[WBG84 @WBG84]

Drake Maye in 2025 became the 5th different QB to pass for 4,000+ yards, rush for 450+ yards and throw 30+ TD passes during the regular season.

If the Patriots win tonight, Maye will become the 1st QB to accomplish that feat and win a #SuperBowl in the same season. #NEPats
