You need to put up points when asked to. And in many instances, it's because you're playing an offensive powerhouse with a shitty defense.
Joe Flacco is 9-4 in the playoffs. He has thrown under 200 yards 7 times. Big Ben is 10-4 in the playoffs. He has thrown under 230 yards 8 times and only has ONE 300+ yard passing game in the playoffs. In Eli's first Super Bowl run, his highest yardage total was 255 yards.
A balanced football team with an efficient QB who makes big plays in big moments is still a terrific model for this modern NFL.
