  • This is a list of National Football League (NFL) champions before the Template:Nfly1970 AFL–NFL merger. From Template:Nfly1920–Template:Nfly1932, the league champion was determined by a team's win–loss percentage, with ties omitted. In Template:Nfly1932, because of a tie in the final standings, a playoff game was played to determine the championship. In Template:Nfly1933, the NFL played its first official championship game. On July 8, 1933, the NFL was divided into two divisions, which were renamed as conferences after Template:Nfly1949, and the winners of each division/conference played each other to determine the league champion. This format would remain through the 1966 NFL season1966 season. Any ties in the regular season standings resulted in a playoff game, while the winner of the other conference stood idle. This last occurred in Template:Nfly1965. In Template:Nfly1967, the then-16-team NFL split each conference into two divisions of four teams each. From Template:Nfly1967–1969 NFL season69, the division winners met in a conference championship game. The two conference champions then played for the NFL championship. Starting with the Template:Nfly1966 season, the NFL champion played the American Football League champion in what would become the Super Bowl. Since the completion of the AFL-NFL mergermerger in Template:Nfly1970, the Super Bowl has served as the NFL championship game. Unlike the Super Bowl, which is contested at a site selected years in advance, NFL championship games from Template:Nfly1933 to 1969 NFL season1969 took place at the home field of one of the competing teams. Home field was not determined by record but alternated between the conferences: the East hosted the even-numbered seasons and the West the odds. Starting with the 1934 game, the winning team received the Ed Thorp Memorial Trophy. The trophy was named after Ed Thorp, a noted referee, rules expert, and sporting goods dealer. Thorp died in 1934, and a large, traveling trophy was made that year, passed along from champion to champion each season with each championship team's name inscribed on it. Teams would also receive a replica trophy. The trophy was last awarded to the Minnesota Vikings in 1969. It is now missing.
