Top 5 receivers (in yards) for the past 5 years and how their teams did in the conference championship and Super Bowl
Just like everyone else I have a ton of time on my hands so with the recent Hopkins trade I wanted to see what a top 5 receiver does for a team in the post season. I only did conference championships and the super bowl.
This is also me trying to validate the abuse from our HC/GM. Anyone else developing Stockholm syndrome?
Granted this is a small sample size and its only the past 5 years. Im using top 5 receivers from each year based on total yards.
- Played in the super bowl – 20% of the time
- Played in AFC championship – 40% of the time
- Played in NFC Championship – 40% of the time
