Well, I think I am pointing out to their fans that keep stating that the Colts stopped Balti and the Jets rushing attacks, but it really isn't accurate. Baltimore abandoned their run due to getting down, but they still had a good average for YPC, and Rice was averaging 5 YPC. That is an important stat in my mind. I disagree that stats do not matter- of course they do. They do not mean you will win or lose, but of course they matter- and the stat that matters most is points scored vs points against. If stats did not matter teams that were last in offensive and defensive stats would be in the super bowl.
