I've heard some talk that the Hawks have not faced very good Defensive lines in the final quarter of the season and the Packers have.
Well I went over to Football Outsiders and did some digging.
Here is what I found: The average Adjusted Line Yards for the Packers and Seahawks last 4 regular season opponents are: Packers: 3.75 ypc Seahawks: 3.67 ypc. In my mind that is a statistically insignificant difference.
Adjusted Line Yards as defined by Football Outsiders:
"Teams are ranked according to Adjusted Line Yards. Based on regression analysis, the Adjusted Line Yards formula takes all running back carries and assigns responsibility to the offensive line based on the following percentages:
So my question is where does this perception come from and if I'm missing info that makes it true, I'd love to see it.

- Losses: 120% value
- 0-4 Yards: 100% value
- 5-10 Yards: 50% value
- 11+ Yards: 0% value
