RE: The Kershaw playoff narrative

Elway's legacy changed thanks to Terrell Davis and the offensive line, not thanks to Elway. In the Super Bowl win over the Packers, Davis had 30 carries for 157 yards and 3 rushing TDs. Elway's stat line was 12-23, 123 yards, no TDs, 1 INT. His QB rating for that game was an abysmal 51.9. Favre, in contrast, had a good game: 25-42, 256 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 91.0 QB rating.
The equivalent for Kershaw would be if he started 2 games in a World Series, gave up 9 earned runs in each, and the Dodgers nonetheless won both games and the series.
