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.

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

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.
