[OC] Every league championship game where the winning team led for the entire second half
In total there have been 65 championship games out of 110 where the team leading at halftime never lost their lead in the second half. That includes 34/59 Super Bowls, 21/37 pre-merger NFL Championships, 7/10 AFL Championships, and 3/4 AAFC Championships
This is a much more frequent occurrence until very recently. It's happened in only 8 of the last 20 Super Bowls when in the past it would happen 7-8 times in half that time
