Serious question- can't find the answer.

[PATSNUTme]

I have been thinking about the Jets situation. My question is:

Has any team advanced to the AFC/NFC Championship game, 2 years in a row, having to win all their games on the road?

Now we know that some teams have not only made it but won the AFC/NFCCG in one year. Some have even gone on to win the SB.

But 2 years in a row making it to the Championship game as a road team, I can't think of one.

Does anyone Know of any? I've looked at several sites but can't find the info.

Never happened before. Pretty sure Cowboys from the early 80s played 3 straight road NFCC games, but did have playoff home games during those yrs

Nope.

This is the list of every playoff road win since 1960. No team has two back to back.

So the Jets not only have to play a superior team. They have history going against them.
