It's been nearly three decades since the Cowboys last made the NFC championship game. They now have the longest title game drought in the conference.

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.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has praised the team's full-game intensity as key to defeating the Detroit Lions.

The Cowboys haven't reached the conference title game since the 1995 season. Every other NFC team has reached the title game since 1996.

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

After news broke of Brian Schottenheimer's head coaching interview, Ian Rapoport revealed the financial reasons for the Cowboys' decision.
