The 1932 NFL Playoff Game was the first ever playoff game held by the National Football League (NFL), the major professional American football sports league in the United States. Due to extremely cold weather, the game was played indoors on December 18, 1932 at Chicago Stadium in Chicago. The final score was Chicago Bears 9, Portsmouth Spartans 0.
The game paved the way for a new era of professional American football. After following the rules of college football for its first 13 years of existence, the NFL began to develop its own rules. The popularity of the game also led the league to start holding annual playoff games. Thus, the 1932 NFL Playoff Game is sometimes unofficially called the 1932 NFL Championship Game.
Furthermore, the game is regarded as the first ever major indoor football game, although this is only true inasmuch as it was the first such game in the forward pass era. A series of matchups in 1902 and 1903, known as the World Series of Football, were held indoors in New York City in an effort to determine the nation's best professional team.
First playoff game was in 32 not 33

12. What rule change was made as a result of the way the 1945 NFL Championship game was decided? Hint...all aspects of this would be irrelevent in today's game.
That game was decided in the Rams favor when Redskins QB Sammy Baugh threw a pass from his end zone and hit the goal post....which at that time was on the goal line and not the end line. The Rams were awarded a 2 point safety and won the game by a 15-14 score, the safety being the margin of victory. Immediately after that game the rule was changed to simply make a pass hitting the goal post an incomplete pass. Later of course the goal posts were placed on the end line....thus removing any relevency of the rule....but for that one time that rule did decide a championship.
13. Since the advent of the Super Bowl in 1966, which AFL/AFC team has lost the most AFL/AFC conference title games?
The Oakland Raiders have lost 9. Yes, in theory the Raiders could have appeared in an additional 9 Super Bowls.

(of course, the Steelers also have the most wins with
14. What team has lost the most NFC conference title games.

8. Which team has lost the most AFC Championship games (1970-present) without winning one?
The NY Jets are 0-4 in AFC title games. Their one win in 1968 was prior to the full merger.
Additional historical note about this: though the Jets are 0-4 in AFC title games.....in the final game leading up to a Super Bowl appearance they are 1-4, winning obviously in 1968.
the Browns however are 0-5 in the games that lead up to a Super Bowl appearance. They lost the NFL
title games in 1968 to the Colts (losers to the Jets), 1969 to the Vikings (losers to the Chiefs), and the AFC title games in 1986, 1987, and 1989 to the Broncos (loser to the Giants/Redskins/49ers).As you can say, it did those teams no good to lose to the Browns....they lost every SB game after that.
