Question
Two teams won their divisions with identical records. One of those teams beat the other in the regular season, yet still had to play on the road when they met in the conference championship. Which teams were involved when this last happened?
Answer
Rams and Vikings, back in 1974. Los Angeles won the regular season meeting and both teams finished 10-4. Yet when the NFC Championship game was played, it was at Metropolitan Stadium, with the Vikings winning 14-10 to advance to Super Bowl IX against the Steelers. The league changed its playoff seeding system after that season (thru 1974, conference championship games were alternated by division rather than won-loss record). The Vikings and Rams play on Thursday – this time in the Coliseum.
