    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.
