http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/11_2623_The_mighty_CHFF_interception_ladder.html Teams that toss more touchdowns than their opponents are 207-62 (.770)Teams that toss fewer interceptions than their opponents are 258-56 (.822).
The most interesting part of the interception ladder is not just that INTs are costly.
Sure, chronicling the actual percentages is nice, but we all know that turnovers cost teams.
The most interesting part is that throwing INTs or, more specifically, not throwing INTs is actually more important than throwing touchdowns in the playoffs.
Last week alone, teams that threw more touchdown passes were 1-2; teams that threw fewer interceptions were 2-1. (The TD and INT numbers were even in one game each.)
Its a bit shocking, considering that the name of the game is to get the ball into the end zone. So you would think that getting the ball into end zone is actually a pretty important indicator. It is, of course, as evidenced by the .770 winning percentage. But it's simply more important to keep the ball out of the hands of your opponent.
