Number Ones

This weekend will see the 9th time that the number one offense in the NFL is matched up against the number one defense in the NFL in the playoffs. The good news for the Colts is the fact that in the first 8 meetings - the number one offense has won 6 of the 8 games. Indianapolis averaged 379 yards per game this year and Baltimore only allowed 264 yards per game.

Speaking of number ones - Tom Brady has faced 4 number one seeds in the playoffs. Each time Brady and the Patriots have come away with a victory. This Sunday in San Diego will mark the 5th time Brady will have faced a number one seed. I hope this stat more than cancels out the fact that Brady is only 1-2 against the Chargers in his career.
