The 2024 playoffs have reinforced almost three decades of futility that has made the Dallas Cowboys the laughingstock of the NFL. | From @BenGrimaldi
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.
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.
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.
The Commanders punched their ticket to the NFL's version of the Final Four, their first appearance there since the 1991 season.

The Eagles and Commanders will meet for the third time this year in Sunday's NFC championship game, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys now have the longest NFC Championship drought in the league. DALLAS - The Washington Commanders win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday moved the Dallas Cowboys into a title no team wants to have. Every team in the NFC has been to the NFC Championship game more recently than Dallas.
Washington won the turnover battle 5-0 to dump the NFC’s top seed out of the playoffs and advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 1992
