Question

The Bengals are headed to their third AFC Championship game, and their first as a road team. In their two previous appearances, they won at home against the Chargers (1981) and Bills (1988). What is the only other team that has never played on the road in a conference championship game?

Answer

Houston Texans. The city itself has had a couple of road appearances (the Oilers lost AFC Championship games at Pittsburgh in 1978 and 1979), but the Texans franchise has not yet played in a conference championship game. Other teams with just one road appearance in conference championship games: Kansas City, Miami, Arizona, Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington.
