2. Flacco
actually doesn't surprise me because his wins are recent. Kansas City this year, New England last year, and Miami/Tennessee two years ago.

I think Eli Manning and Roethlisberger have 3. I wondered about Warner but he only has 1 playoff road win and that was against Carolina two years ago.

4. Plus they are in the same division as the Steelers juggernaut
well every few years they are a juggernaut

so Baltimore doesn't win the division and has to go on the road with a really good team - all things funnel to Lewis and Suggs

5. I went to the sight they got it from
There was a 4th qb...Jake Delhomme
I was stunned. Dawson and Staubach I might have gotten
Flacco 1 in 10 chance
Delhomme...I spent the full four minutes the 4th qb and he never was a thought.

7. Not surprised at Flacco
He was the first rookie QB to win two playoff games, and I remember Baltimore was a wild card that year.

8. Yeah, But Does It Really Mean Anything
You've got Brady, Montana, Marino, et al listed as Nays, but wouldn't the lion's share of their playoff games have been home games.

It seems like this stat would mean something if QB's on really good teams had the same number of chances as QB's on weaker teams.

What if Montana played 4 road games in the playoffs and won three of them? That'd be awfully good, too.
