Short answer is, not well.
- 91% of playoff teams have a top-half defense or rushing attack.
- 71% of playoff teams have a top-quarter defense or rushing attack
As you start counting the teams that win a playoff game, those numbers get even more overwhelming.
The Lions never once fielded a top-half running game. Three times in ten years was there a defense in the top half.
Those aren’t playoff team stats.
