Championship games are always like that.

last games are normal times were eagles/rams and steelers/pats (1230 and 415)

now they are locked in (afc and nfc rotate 300 and 630 slots every year) to increase ratings.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

It helps that two of the four teams (and both games) are in rather westerly locations.

Kinda. Last year it was the same times and they were in philly and pissburgh.

The NFL changed the times of the Saturday WC and divisional round games in 2001--remember the Eagles playing TB at 4.30 and at Chicago at 4.30 in 2001? Then in 2002, they changed the times of the championship games in an effort to get one of them into primetime. The Eagles played TB and Atlanta at 3pm, while they played Carolina at 6.30.

yup, the last few years they have gone later with start times except for sunday during the first two rounds.
