The Detroit Lions are set to play their fifth home playoff game, stepping away from a tie for the least home playoff appearances since the 1970 merger. Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals, despite less frequent home playoff games, maintain an impeccable 4-0 record in their appearances, boasting the best home playoff winning percentage. In stark contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles lead with 24 home playoff games, trailing only the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, and New England Patriots.
Among the most successful teams at home in playoff history, the Buffalo Bills are currently 13-3, holding a .833 winning percentage, just behind the Cardinals. However, they have struggled lately, losing in their last two Divisional Round games. In comparison, the Kansas City Chiefs have a mixed playoff home record but have excelled since Patrick Mahomes' arrival.
On the road, the Baltimore Ravens excel with an 11-8 record, the best winning percentage in such games, while the Houston Texans find themselves yet to secure a road playoff victory. The Lions, with a dismal 0-12 record in road playoff games, find themselves in a precarious situation as they aim for home-field advantage.
