All told, Daniels set new NFL records for playoff passing yards (822) and completions (75) by a rookie. He tied Ben Roethlisberger (14 wins in 2005) for the most wins by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, including the postseason.

Philadelphia players were careful not to provide any extra motivation to the rookie quarterback, who has posed a big challenge in two games already this season.

Orlovsky reshared an ESPN graphic later Thursday that showed that in Week 11, the Eagles blitzed Daniels 11% of the time. Daniels had a 21 QBR. In Week 16, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio blitzed his group 33% of the time. Daniels responded with a 96 QBR.
