Historical Stats for the Championship Round

CarolinaSunday · January 23, 2016

I cannot take credit for finding these stats in any way, shape or form, but I thought they were interesting:

For the eighth time since NFL began seeding playoffs in 1975, the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in both conferences will meet in their respective conference championships. First time since 2004 season (AFC: No. 2 Patriots defeated No. 1 Steelers 41-27; NFC: No. 1 Eagles defeated No. 2 Falcons 27-10).
Since 1990, No. 1 seeds are 16-9 versus No. 2 seeds in conference championships. Since 2006, No. 1 seeds are 5-1 versus No. 2 seeds in conference championships.
Home Winning Percentage for the Conference Round since 1990: 31-19 .620

Well, Arians is genius by tanking for the 2nd seed.
