Example

As a demonstration when combined with the wikitable collapsible collapsed format, this would be used when the Jets and Colts met in the 2009 AFC Championship Game. The winning team from each previous meeting should be marked in bold, and the bg color should alternate from being used and not being used as is the case below.
