Who played the Jets best?

MGrex does fine work.

•  
  • The one stat that was the most lopsided (besides Net Punting Average) among the three teams was Adjusted Net Passing Yards / Attempt, where the Colts were far and away the best team, getting almost 9 Yards / Attempt. Peyton Manning was throwing the ball all over the Jets defense, who averaged giving up just 5.5 Yards / Attempt throughout the season.  It was the second best game this season against the Jets (45-3 loss to the Patriots was 12.0 Y/A).
  • ANPY/A also gives us the one stat that we can compare the QBs with.  We already know Manning was awesome throwing the ball, which makes blaming him for the loss to the Jets asinine. Tom Brady was pretty average, or slightly below average, in comparison to other playoff games over the past 10 years.  Ben Roethlisberger was not good at all, finishing in the bottom 10% of all playoff games since 2001.  Pretty obvious hierarchy, huh?
