With the Commanders advancing in the postseason, the Cowboys now have the longest NFC Championship Game drought in NFL history.

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 Eagles and Commanders are surging right as the Cowboys are at their most hopeless. That feels about right.

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.

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.

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.

Aside from Detroit Lions fans, no other fanbase was more angry than the Dallas Cowboys' to see the Washington Commanders reach the NFC title game. Beyond
