The Patriots are the first team since 1987 to win a playoff game with 250 yards or fewer, 13 first-downs or fewer & 3+ turnovers.
The last 30 teams to post those marks all lost, by an average of 21.3 PPG.
4.0 yards per play. 3/14 on third down. 5 sacks taken. And a win. Nuts.
CJ Stroud became the first player since Kerry Collins in the 2000 Super Bowl to complete under 43% of his passes & throw 4+ INTs.
He became the first player to ever have 5+ INTS and 5+ fumbles in a single postseason.
That was absolutely horrific QB play. Like, job-threatening.
This year was the easiest path to a Super Bowl for the Houston Texans that they will ever have:
- #1 Defense
-No Mahomes, Jackson, Allen, Burrow
-Broncos starting back up QB in AFC Title game
And CJ Stroud out here throwing 5 INTs & 5 fumbles in the playoffs.
Unbelievable.
