NFC championship features the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Washington Commanders. Check out all-time championship records and stats now.

They may be "America's Team," but it's been a long time since the Dallas Cowboys played in front of the country in an NFC Championship Game. In fact, no NFC team has had a longer NFC title game drought than the Cowboys by virtue of the Washington Commanders' shocking upset win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday night in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

The Cowboys also have three former players in the AFC Championship, all playing for the Buffalo Bills. Those players are Amari Cooper, Connor McGovern, and Jordan Phillips. The Cowboys themselves have not made it to the NFC Championship since 1995, marking the longest drought in the NFC.

The Commanders punched their ticket to the NFL's version of the Final Four, their first appearance there since the 1991 season.

Now that the Commanders have reached this playoff feat, a new team takes the unfortunate streak since last making an NFC championship, and it happens to be the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys haven't reached the conference title game since the 1995 season. Every other NFC team has reached the title game since 1996.

With Saturday’s win over the Detroit Lions, the Washington Commanders snapped the NFC’s longest active championship game drought and passed that designation to another team that hasn’t reached the NFL’s final four since the ’90s, the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys could be closing in on promoting Brian Schottenheimer to replace Mike McCarthy as head coach. Fans in Big D might not be too happy with this.

Here are the teams with the most NFC Championship Game wins, losses and appearances ahead of this year's matchup between the Commanders and Eagles.

The Washington Commanders are in the NFC championship game after going 12-5 in the regular season and winning two playoff games
