Question

Atlanta opens at Minnesota on Sunday, and for Vikings fans, it’s a painful reminder of the 1998 NFC Championship game – Gary Anderson misses a game-clinching field goal late, and the Falcons sneak back to steal it in overtime. What are the only other two 15-1 teams that have lost at home in playoff games?

Answer

Pittsburgh and Green Bay. With rookie Ben Roethlisberger and a strong defense, the Steelers in 2004 lost only once in the regular season, but New England beat them 41-27 in the AFC Championship. The Packers went 15-1 in 2011, with Aaron Rodgers throwing 45 TDs in 15 games, but went flat in their first preseason game, losing 37-20 to the Giants. Only one other team has gone 15-1 in the regular season and failed to win the championship – the 2015 Panthers (who lost to Denver in the Super Bowl.)
