WHAT IT MEANT: For the first time in the playoffs, it seemed like Manning struggled with blitz pressure (He had a 140.1 QB rating in his first two playoff games; details on that here and here). But the truth is that the 6-for-15 against with extra men coming included four drops, which means Manning would’ve been more than respectable in these conditions if not for some things out of his control. The big thing is that he never made the “bad throw” when faced with pressure.
