I am guessing it has something to do with shutting out your opponent on the road in the postseason at the title/championship game level.

Nope (although that may also be true!)

After a slow start, this team won 9 of it's last 11 games and made the postseason. The two losses in those 11 games were to the same opponent...but the losses were NOT to a divisional opponent. Name the team.

’81 Jets! Got swept by Seattle.

Correct! Found that to be odd on two levels...one, that they played each other twice and, two, the Seahawks really weren't any good in 1981.

HINT:... The Bills needed exactly the first 4 playoff games of the Sean McDermott era to join the Eagles and Rams in accomplishing this feat.

^^^. I'll reveal the answer later tonight if no one can get this.

Answer:. The Bills, Eagles and Rams are the only teams to have faced every other team in their conference at least once in the playoffs.

I would have NEVER gotten that one! Now if the Steelers can just play against the Texans! They did go against Seattle in SBXL, but never played a playoff game vs them while Hawks were in the AFC.

I’m curious as to what other teams are ‘almost’ there?

I think the Cowboys are only missing the Saints and the Commanders are missing the Saints, Cardinals, and Panthers. I may be overlooking someone however.

When I was looking this up I was sure that the Patriots would qualify. But they've never played the Bengals.

I also think the Saints are the only NFC team the Packers have not yet played in the postseason.
