I don't think it changes in the playoffs, and it is a but of a formula. Up front it is 60-40, but the home team deducts percentages for things like stadium rentals.

While the NFL's gate-sharing rule of a 60%-40% split is convenient to remember and seemingly more equitable than baseball's rules, the plan was less generous than its reputation. First, according to the NFL constitution, home teams deducted 15% of the gate receipts to cover stadium rental and other costs, whether or not the home team incurred such expenses. The home team then sent 2% of the remaining 85% of the gate receipts (1.7% of the original receipts) to the league. Finally, the home team paid 40% of the remaining 83.3% of the gate receipts to the visiting team (U.S. Congress 1957, p. 2580ai; NFL Constitutions, various years). In effect, then, the home team paid a minimum of 33.2% of gate receipts to the visiting team.

And Tavaris Jackson has been put on IR by the Vikings. That really sucks for him. I guess we will find out if Joe Webb is the QB of the future. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...n-heads-to-ir/
