Question

Home-field advantage for conference championship games used to be rotated (rather than settled by win-loss record). What was the last team to play on the road in a conference championship game, when it should have been hosting it? Hint: these same two teams play today.

Answer

The Rams, following the 1974 season, had to play the NFC Championship game at Minnesota, even though both teams finished 10-4 and the Rams had beaten the Vikings in the regular season. Minnesota won that game 14-10 (then lost in Super Bowl IX against Pittsburgh). The home-field advantage rules were altered in that offseason.
