The Single Stat That Unlocks the Secret Behind Mahomes’ Reign as the Chiefs’ Greatest Champion
Since 2001, NFL QBs have led 170 playoff drives that meet the following criteria:
- Their team was tied or trailing by a touchdown or less.
- The drive ended in the final minute of regulation, or later.
- They threw at least one pass.
Where âsuccessâ means scoring enough points to tie, lead, or win, quarterbacks are 75 for 170 in these ultimate pressure-cooker situations. Their success rate is 44%.
Tom Brady was 9 for 15, for a long time the only quarterback to have more than five of these opportunities and convert at a rate of better than half. Drew Brees was 5 for 11, Peyton Manning 2 for 7, Ben Roethlisberger 3 for 6, Russell Wilson is 2 for 4, including that one interception 10 years ago.
