Введение
Плей-офф Национальной футбольной лиги сезона 1977 года начался 24 декабря 1977 года. Постсезонный турнир завершился победой "Даллас Ковбойс" над "Денвер Бронкос" в Супербоуле XII со счетом 27–10, 15 января 1978 года, на стадионе "Луизианский Супердоум" в Новом Орлеане, штат Луизиана. Этот сезон стал последним, когда НФЛ использовала восьмикомандный турнир плей-офф.
NFL seasonal playoff games
The National Football League playoffs for the 1977 season began on December 24, 1977. The postseason tournament concluded with the Dallas Cowboys defeating the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XII, 27–10, on January 15, 1978, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. This was also the last season that the NFL used an eight team playoff tournament.
Расписание
Из-за того, что Рождество выпало на воскресенье, игры дивизионного раунда проводились в течение трех дней. Матчи плей-офф АФК были сыграны в субботу, 24 декабря, а матчи НФК – в понедельник, 26 декабря. Это также был единственный год после слияния AFL–NFL в 1970 году, когда одна конференция провела оба своих матча дивизионного плей-офф в один день, а другая конференция – оба своих матча в другой день. Это было сделано для того, чтобы команды в каждой игре за чемпионство конференции имели одинаковое количество дней отдыха (восемь дней для АФК и шесть дней для НФК). В каждом другом сезоне с 1970 года конференции распределяли свои игры плей-офф на два дня. В предыдущем году, когда Рождество было в субботу, расписание было сдвинуто на неделю, а игры за чемпионство конференций были назначены на следующий день, воскресенье, 26 декабря. Рождество также было в субботу в 1971 году, во время дивизионного раунда; было сыграно две игры, по одной в каждой конференции. В Соединенных Штатах NBC транслировала матчи плей-офф АФК, а CBS – матчи НФК и Супер Боул XII.
Due to Christmas falling on a Sunday, the Divisional Round games were held in a span of three days. The AFC playoff games were played on Saturday, December 24, while the NFC games were held on Monday, December 26. It also marked the only year since the AFL–NFL merger in 1970 that one conference held both of its divisional playoff games on one day and the other conference held both of its games on the other day. This was done to ensure the teams in each conference championship game had the same amount of rest (eight days for the AFC and six days for the NFC). In every other season since 1970, the conferences have split their playoff games over the two days. The previous year, with Christmas on Saturday, the schedule was advanced a week and the conference championships were the next day, Sunday, December 26. Christmas was also on Saturday in 1971, during the divisional round; two games were played, one in each conference. In the United States, NBC broadcast the AFC playoff games, while CBS televised the NFC games and Super Bowl XII.

Интересные факты
"Денвер Бронкос" впервые вышли в плей-офф. Денвер стал последней из старых команд АФЛ, попавшей в плей-офф. "Денвер" был первой командой, выигравшей чемпионат конференции в своем дебютном выступлении в плей-офф. Единственной командой, повторившей этот успех с тех пор, стали "Балтимор Рэйвенс" 2000 года, которые официально считаются командой, близкой к расширению, хотя и унаследовали свой основной состав от "Кливленд Браунс" в 1996 году. Это был единственный случай, когда оба чемпиона конференций в плей-офф обыграли действующих чемпионов своих конференций: "Денвер" победил "Окленд", а "Даллас" – "Миннесоту". Матч дивизионного раунда "Колтс" – "Рейдерс" стал третьей игрой в плей-офф, дошедшей до двойного овертайма. Предыдущие две – это чемпионат АФЛ 1962 года ("Даллас Тексанс" против "Хьюстон Ойлерс") и дивизионный раунд АФК 1971 года ("Майами Долфинс" против "Канзас-Сити Чифс"). Чемпионат АФК впервые собрал двух основателей АФЛ. Победа "Даллас Ковбойз" над "Денвер Бронкос" в Супербоуле XII стала их второй подобной победой в 1970-х годах, ранее они обыграли "Майами Долфинс" в Супербоуле VI (плей-офф НФЛ 1971–72). В обоих случаях соперник "Далласа" в АФК выиграл в плей-офф два предыдущих Супербоула: "Денвер" победил "Питтсбург" (X) и "Окленд" (XI), а "Майами" – "Канзас-Сити" (IV) и "Балтимор" (V). Этот матч – единственный в истории НФЛ, когда судья Джим Тунни работал на двух Супербоулах подряд. Ни одна команда из восточного часового пояса не участвовала ни в одном из матчей за чемпионство конференций. Это повторится не раньше сезона НФЛ 2019 года.
The Denver Broncos were making their first trip to the postseason. Denver was the last of the old AFL teams to make it to the playoffs. Denver was the first team to win a conference championship in their first playoff appearance. The only team to accomplish that feat since was the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, who are officially considered a quasi expansion team even though they inherited their original roster from the Cleveland Browns in 1996. This was the only time that both conference champions defeated their conference's defending champion in the playoffs, with Denver beating Oakland and Dallas downing Minnesota. The Colts–Raiders divisional round game was the third playoff game to go into double overtime. The two previous ones were the 1962 AFL Championship (Dallas Texans vs. Houston Oilers) and the 1971 AFC divisional round game (Miami Dolphins vs. Kansas City Chiefs.) The AFC Championship Game was the first where both contestants were founding members of the AFL. The Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl XII victory over the Denver Broncos was their second such win of the 1970s, having previously beaten the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl VI (1971 72 NFL Playoffs). In each case, Dallas' AFC opponent had scored back to back playoff wins over the previous two Super Bowl Champions, Denver having defeated Pittsburgh (X) and Oakland (XI), and Miami having defeated Kansas City (IV) and Baltimore (V)
This game marks the only time in NFL history that a referee, Jim Tunney, worked in consecutive Super Bowls. No teams in the Eastern Time Zone were in either conference championship game. This would not happen again until the 2019 NFL season.
