The 1969 NFL Playoffs featured the top four teams in the National Football League. The playoffs were structured that year in such a way that the top team from each division would qualify for the playoffs. There were two divisions in each conference. The two division winners from each conference would face each other for a chance to play against the champion of the other conference.

The winner of the Capitol Division was the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys managed a record of 11-2-1, easily beating out the Washington Redskins for the Division Title. The Capitol Division winners would play against the Century Division winners.

The Century Division was dominated by the Cleveland Browns. The Browns were actually the only team in the Century division that managed to a winning record. They finished the season at 10-3-1.

These two teams faced off and the Browns were just too strong. The Cowboys looked solid defensively during the season, they were not able to stop the Browns during this game. The Browns managed to light up the scoreboard for 38 points en route to a 38-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Browns ...
... would advance to play against the winners of the opposing conference for the NFL Championship.

The Coastal division was dominated by the Los Angeles Rams for the majority of the season. The Rams started off the season on a roll and looked like they would keep rolling right into the playoffs. In week 12 the Rams suffered their first loss and they soon after were on a losing streak. The Rams lost 3 games in a row going into the playoffs.

The Minnesota Vikings dominated the Central Division with a high powered offense and a stingy defense. They finished with a record of 12-2 on the season and would play against the Rams for the opportunity to go to the NFL Championship game.

The Rams were unable to get their momentum back after starting out hot and found themselves in a tough spot. The game was close, but the Vikings managed to take home a 23-20. The Vikings went on to play against the Cleveland Browns in the NFL Championship Game.

The Browns were a solid team, but they were really no match for the Vikings in this game. The Vikings had the best offense and defense in the NFL in the regular season and looked dominant in the NFL Championship Game. The Browns were only able to score one touchdown in the game while surrendering 27 points defensively.

The final score of the game between these two teams was 27-7 in favor of the Minnesota Vikings. With their victory the Vikings would be NFL Champions and would go on to play against the AFL Champions.

The AFL was won that season by the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs and Vikings would play and the Chiefs shocked the world by taking out this dominant Vikings team. This Super Bowl victory would be the only Super Bowl for the Chiefs in their history.
