Both teams combined for 1,049 total yards (513 for Kansas City, 536 for Indianapolis), an NFL postseason record.[1]

This was the eighth consecutive playoff loss for Kansas City, an NFL record.[2]

Saints kicker Shayne Graham, who was signed by the team just a few weeks before this game, kicked four field goals, the last a game winner as time expired to give the team their first road playoff win in franchise history.[3]

This game was notable for featuring two starting quarterbacks who went to the same high school, Westlake High School in Austin, Texas; Brees graduated in 1997, while Foles graduated in 2007.[4]

and shut out Cincinnati in the second half to send them home with their first home loss of the season and their 6th consecutive playoff loss since 1990.[5]

Jones caught 8 passes for 130 yards, setting a postseason franchise record and making him the first Bengals player to have over 100 receiving yards in a playoff game since Cris Collinsworth in the 1983 season.[6]

In the previous postseason, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick shredded the Packers for 444 total yards of offense, including 181 rushing yards. [7]

The last time these two teams met in the playoffs, Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown in a winning effort.[8]

New England intercepted four passes, rushed for 234 yards, and scored 6 rushing touchdowns – the second highest total in postseason history.[9]

as they advanced to their eighth conference championship game in the last 13 years. [10]

Blount tied a franchise playoff record with 166 rushing yards, and set a franchise record with 4 rushing touchdowns.[11]

With the win, the 49ers became the first team since the 1977 Minnesota Vikings to return to the NFC Championship Game[12]

Denver jumped out to a 17–0 lead and held off a late San Diego rally to prevail 24–17 and advance to their first AFC Championship since 2005[13]

Tom Brady and the Patriots were on the road in the playoffs for the first time in seven years, which was also the last time they faced Peyton Manning when he was with the Colts.[14]

But the story was all about Denver as their offense racked up 507 yards without turning the ball over or giving up any sacks as they advanced to the 7th Super Bowl in franchise history[15]

This was his second 100-yard rushing game in the postseason; only two other quarterbacks in NFL history up to this point ever had one[16]

I suggest changing the line "This time, Lynch rushed for 140 yards and two scores to help the Seahawks advance to their first NFC Championship Game." to "This time, Lynch rushed for 140 yards and two scores to help the Seahawks advance to NFC Championship Game." As this article from ESPN.com stated this is their third Conference Championship Game and one of it is an AFC Championship Game so by logic, this is not the Seahawks first NFC Championship Game.
