Obviously that doesn't tell the whole story, but it's an interesting trend.

Well, here's a theory: For many of the seasons in Peyton's career, the AFC was supreme, and the NFC was kind of minor league. All but two of Peyton's playoff games were against AFC teams during its reign of superiority over the NFC. Ergo, you would expect a lower passer rating against superior teams.
