In an exciting weekend of NFL playoff action, several quarterbacks showcased their skills with exceptional performances. From career-high passer ratings to impressive EPA rates, these players left a lasting impact on the field.

Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers set a new career-high passer rating of 128.6 in the wild-card win against the Dallas Cowboys. This followed his previous record of 147.8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Love's EPA rate also stood out, with a close match of 0.60 against the Buccaneers.

Similarly, the Houston Texans' quarterback, Stroud, demonstrated his talent by nearly replicating his wild-card numbers from Week 9 against the Buccaneers. He recorded an EPA rate of 0.60 and a passer rating of 147.8. In Week 18, Stroud showcased his consistency with a strong performance against the Indianapolis Colts, achieving a 0.39 EPA rate and a 134.1 passer rating.

Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions put forth an impressive effort in the recent victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Goff's EPA rate of 0.46 closely matched his season-high rate from Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs' star quarterback, may have had a lower passer rating, but his EPA rate in the win against the Miami Dolphins was his fifth-best of the season. This performance was reminiscent of his top mark achieved in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns showcased his talents with his second-best passer rating of the season during the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. This impressive performance was only surpassed by his perfect 158.3 rating achieved in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.

Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills dazzled fans with his best passer rating since his perfect 158.3 performance in Week 4 against the Dolphins. Allen's standout game occurred in the wild-card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
