In response to "It’s still a team game and the Ravens couldn’t stop Derrick Henry last year. Yesterday, they made him look bad and coincidentally, Tannehill" by Will Hunting

It's also a textbook example of small sample sizes.

Tannehill has smoked defenses who keyed too much on Henry this year. Yesterday, he missed his open/semi-open shots downfield too often.

If you pick a subpar game from anyone, the player looks ordinary. When it happens in a playoff game, the media talks about it a disproportionate amount due to stakes.

Aaron Rodgers had a game against the Bucs this year where he went 16 for 35 for 160 yards and two picks. If that had been a playoff game, he'd be remembered all off-season for choking.
