I don't get this commercial. Isn't Chrysler's majority shareholder Fiat?
Beforre the game, the debate in the press was whether Peyton Manning was the greatest QB in history. Right after the game, they had up the stat that he has lost more playoff games than any other QB in history. I don't think this game would have affected his legacy one way or another.
This game highlights why stats can be misleading. The Broncos were completely run off the field. Yet, Manning set a record for completions, and his receiver set the record for completions. The Broncos could not handle the Seahawk defense. They had everyone blanketed.
It would be misleading if completions were the only stat made available by the NFL. Although, misleading suggests a deliberate attempt to confuse someone, which always strikes me as an odd point of view by anti-statisticians. The person reading the box score would also have to completely lack the ability to ask why.

Completions are a useless stat. Manning's YPA was awful, because the Seahawks were there every time he completed a pass. I figured this would happen, and I wanted the Seahawks to win, but I just thought that the Broncos would put up a better fight. Didn't realize they would come in with the mentality that they could just pass to win this game. I was actually saying all week that Seattle could win this game by a wide margin if Denver had trouble gaining yards through the air, and they did, and here we have the biggest blowout in SB history.
As I've said, Seattle just has a very complete team on both sides of the ball, and I don't expect anything less than the division, and another NFC title game for them in 2015. Very tough to beat a team that can win so many ways, and almost never loses at home.
This was not the biggest blowout in history.
