Comments:
The Packers finally overtake the Patriots for first place.
Every team increases by power, at least a little. I suspect that's a symptom of the margin power values not being balanced quite right...
APR has had the Packers and Steelers highly ranked all year long. The Packers have been in the top 5 since week 11, except for week 14 (after the loss to the Lions). The Steelers have been ranked 6 or higher every week except week 1.
In spite of all the talk of Pouncey being out for the Steelers, it didn't seem like the Packers got a lot of pressure on Roethlisberger. He was only sacked once, and mostly seemed to have time when he dropped back to pass.
The Packers 13 rush attempts tie for the fewest of any team to win in the playoffs (*1999 Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV also had 13).
