History of relocated NFL games: From wildfires to blizzards to an owner angry at local fans
Briefly

In a historic move, the NFL relocated a playoff game for only the second time ever, this time due to wildfires in Los Angeles, showcasing the league's adaptability to unforeseen circumstances.
The relocation isn't just a minor detail; it's crucial that fans and teams adapt to such dramatic changes this late in the season, making it a remarkable event since FDR's presidency.
This marks the first time an NFL playoff game has been moved since the 1936 championship, highlighting how wildfires have prompted changes in scheduling throughout NFL history.
Reflecting on past relocations, such as the 1936 NFL Championship where the game shifted from Boston to neutral grounds and impacted team dynamics, this recent move underscores ongoing challenges faced by the league.
