from the cold, hard football facts guys:
One: Belichick owns quarterbacks in the postseason
Chad Pennington acquitted himself quite well in the Jets’ 37-16 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
He completed 23 of 40 passes for 300 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT and a 79.2 passer rating.
It actually stands as one of the better performances ever against a Bill Belichick defense in the postseason.
Belichick has coached 28 playoff games as a defensive coordinator or head coach. Pennington was just the sixth quarterback in those 28 games to reach the 300-yard mark.
Here’s a look at the cumulative passing performance of opposing quarterbacks in these 28 postseason games against a Belichick defense:
534 for 1,016 (51.6%), 6,530 yards, 6.5 YPA, 30 TDs, 39 INTs, 66.5 passer rating
Eleven of those games were played against MVP-award-winning QBs; six were played against future Hall of Fame quarterbacks.
Seriously, the man turns it up a notch in the post-season. No vanilla schemes, a team that knows their ***** by heart, and a singular focus. Philip Rivers is a nice QB, and maybe he'll have a great game, but the odds say he should be tossing and turning just about now.
