Baltimore, a city with a rich football history, is gearing up to host a conference championship game for the first time in over half a century. Despite their two Super Bowl victories, the Baltimore Ravens haven’t had the opportunity to host such a pivotal game since January 1971, when the Baltimore Colts emerged victorious against the Oakland Raiders.
Meanwhile, Houston Texans are also set to break a decades-long streak as it prepares to host the conference championship game.
The last time Houston appeared in this crucial stage was in January 1980, in a faceoff against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game, which ended in a 27-13 loss for Houston, remains notable for one of the most controversial plays in NFL history. Now, after years of anticipation, both cities are poised to witness conference championship action once again.
