With the victory over the Chiefs, Joe Flacco won his 4th career road playoff game (he is 4-2).  That victory tied him for first all time with Jake Delhomme, Len Dawson, and Roger Staubach.  If the Ravens beat the Steelers this weekend, Joe Flacco will become the winningest QB in true playoff road games in the entire history of the NFL.  Absolutely astonishing when you consider it is just his third season and that in the entire history of the NFL no QB has won more than 4 true road games.  Obviously Superbowls being at neutral sites do not count in that statistic and most of the elite QB's end up on teams hosting playoff games, but still a stat I heard and went wow so I thought I would share.

Interesting, but also means his teams didn't perform well enough during the season to lock up home field..

true, though 2 of the victories they were only on the road because the team they played won a weaker division (in 2008 they had the same record as Miami, but beat them head to head in the regular season that year and they had a better record then Kansas City this year).
