Interesting ... it's normally considered that the key to being a successful playoff team is running the ball and stopping your opponent from running the ball. Here's how the final 4 teams ranked in those categories during the regular season:
Offense
Team, rush yards/game (rank), rush yards/att (rank)
Philly, 9, 6
Carolina, 7, 16
Indy, 19, 26
NE, 27, 30
Defense
Team, rush yards/game (rank), rush yards/att (rank)
Philly, 22, 24
Carolina, 11, 13
Indy, 20, 23
NE, 4, 6
Carolina seems to be the only team that is good at doing both.
Does this mean anything?? Probably not, I just thought it was interesting.
