Postseason QB Drive Stats and DVOA

Where does Matt Ryan rank among playoff quarterbacks now? Was 2016 even a top-five postseason in Tom Brady's career? Scott Kacsmar's annual look at playoff drive stats also includes the first look at 1986-88 postseason DVOA.

Each year since 2014, Football Outsiders has written about playoff drive stats for quarterbacks, continuing work I did before arriving here. With Super Bowl LI complete, we've got another year of results to add to our database. This leaves us with the same 35 quarterbacks that we had in our sample a year ago, but we finally have some new data on Eli Manning and Matt Ryan.
