Question

The Colts are playing at Kansas City on Saturday, and they’re 4-0 all-time in the playoff games between these teams. What is the only team that’s won five postseason games in a row against an opponent? These teams last met in the playoffs during the 2005 season.

Answer

Pittsburgh, which is 5-0 against these same Colts. They beat the Baltimore Colts in back-to-back seasons in the mid-‘70s, and they beat the Indianapolis Colts in back-to-back seasons in the mid-‘90s. The Colts were a No. 1 seed in 2005, but the Steelers came into the RCA Dome and beat them 21-18 (later beating Seattle in the Super Bowl). Four other teams have won four playoff games in a row against the same opponent. The Raiders have won all four of their career meetings against the Oilers/Titans. Previously, the Cowboys beat the Packers, the Packers beat the Giants and the Vikings beat the Rams, but all of those four-game streaks have ended.
