PLAYOFF PERFORMANCES
QB Ricardo Dodds is an 2× ALLPRO & 2× league MVP and leads thus postseason with 522 yards passing but only has a 2/3 TD/INT ratio.
RB Wendell Nehring is 7th in the postseason in rushing with 168 yards. Unfortunately for Buffalo, Vegas has 2 rushers ahead of him and a third tied with him in yardage.
WR Ryan Bradley is 4th in receiving yards in the postseason with 145 while WR Jeff Weir is 9th with 115 yards.
K Howard Schmidt is 2nd among kickers in the postseason with a 5/6 stat line but just 1/2 from 50+ yards.
P Barry Woodward is 3rd in the postseason in yards (755), 2nd in average (50.3), 3rd in net yards (46.9) and 4th in punts inside the 20 (7).
CB David Stover is tied for 1st in the postseason in tackles with 20 and CB Stephen Adams is 7th with 17 tackles.
LDE Ryan Carroll only had 3 sacks in the regular season and has matched that total in the postseason which makes him 2nd in the postseason. Carroll came on strong and the end of the season, only making 4 starts but now he is a key component on the defensive front.
CB Rick Henry is a 3× ALLPRO and leads the postseason with 3 interceptions while allowing a 38.9 catch allowed percentage on 18 passes defended.

PLAYOFF PERFORMANCES
QB James Henry is 5th this postseason with 434 yards passing and has a 1/0 TD/INT ratio.
WR Scott Clark sat out in week 16 and watched Washington's RB Brandon Stone pass him for the season rushing Title and set the ALLTIME single season rushing record. In the postseason, he is again 2nd to Stone in rushing yards with 283 yards which is just 3 yards behind Stone. The irony is Clark gets to play 1 more game while Washington and Stone must sit and watch.
WR Valentine Ball is 6th in receiving yards in the postseason with 134 while WR Brian Brown is 10th with 103 yards.
K Kim Irby leads all kickers in the postseason with a 6/6 stat line for all FGs including 3/3 from 50+ yards.
P Justin Stokes leads all punters in the postseason in yards (1,018) and punts inside the 20 (15) but is just 12th in average (44.3) and 8th in net average (45.0).
FS Benjamin Preas is 10th in the postseason in tackles with 16 while 5× ALLPRO SLB Andrew Reed is 12th with 15 tackles.
RDE Royal Valentino tied for the League lead in sacks with 20 but was an ALLPRO snub, just missing out on the individual award. He has apparently used that as motivation as he leads the postseason with 4 sacks.
CB Jonah Orlando and FS Benjamin Preas are 2nd & 3rd in the postseason in knockdowns with 9 & 8 respectively. Orlando has allowed a 31.6 catch allowed percentage on 19 passes defended while Preas has allowed a 25.0 catch allowed percentage on 20 passes defended. This duo has been a key component for Vegas allowing just 74 net yards passing per game in the postseason.
