Information About

Nfl Playoffs, 1967




This was the first season that the NFL used a four-team playoff tournament. The four division winners advanced to the postseason.
The Championship Game was the famous Ice Bowl, played on December 31st.

Although the Baltimore Colts (11-1-2) had tied for the best record in the league, they lost the new division tie-breaker to the Los Angeles Rams and were excluded from the playoffs.

Home field in the playoffs was still determined by a yearly rotation. Seeding the playoff teams by regular season records did not occur until the 1975 season. This is why the Rams (11-1-2) played a road game against the Packers (9-4-1).
