Both finished 12-4, 2nd-seed.
Both lost to the top-seed team during regular season but didn't play against either in the playoffs because each top-seed got eliminated in the divisional round.
Both beat their division-rival in the AFCC.
Both lost to Philly, both times on the road.
Both beat Dallas (both times at home), both beat Washington, both won at New England, both beat...the Cards.
Both beat a 9-7 team in the Super Bowl with each 9-7 team keeping it close; one of those 9-7 teams being a future-StL team, the other a former.
