It is the fewest penalties called on one team in a playoff game since the 2011 AFC Championship... when the Patriots were called for 1 penalty in a win over the Ravens

So, 6 years apart, the team that's probably played in the greatest total number of playoff games over that span committed few penalties. Which team, of course, has probably won the most playoff games in the league over that span - which is generally correlated with being penalized less. And of course none of this takes into account offsetting penalties or those not accepted.
Ground-breaking stuff there.
