Dallas Cowboys formally have longest NFC Championship Sport drought

The Washington Commanders shocked the world on Saturday evening and went to the Motor Metropolis and delivered the top-seeded Detroit Lions a loss within the Divisional Spherical of the playoffs. You’d have thought that unique rights for a silver and blue squad to underwhelm so badly within the spherical in query would belong to America’s Group, however clearly not.

That it’s a “shocker” that the Lions of all groups is not going to be within the NFC Championship Sport remains to be fairly the truth to dwell in. Detroit has considerably rotated their tradition and at last reached the penultimate sport of the season final yr. They had been one in all two groups who held an extended drought than the Dallas Cowboys do. Clearly they put an finish to it.

That left solely a single staff with an extended drought than Dallas within the Washington Commanders. That they had not reached an NFC Championship Sport since 1991… till now.

You recognize what which means. The Dallas Cowboys now have the longest NFC Championship Sport look drought.

Final NFC Championship Sport look
  • Dallas Cowboys, 1995
  • Chicago Bears, 2010
  • New York Giants, 2011
  • Seattle Seahawks, 2014
  • Carolina Panthers, 2015
  • Arizona Cardinals, 2015
  • Atlanta Falcons, 2016
  • Minnesota Vikings, 2017
  • New Orleans Saints, 2018
  • Inexperienced Bay Packers, 2020
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2020
  • Los Angeles Rams, 2021
  • Philadelphia Eagles, 2022
  • San Francisco 49ers, 2023
  • Detroit Lions, 2023
  • Washington Commanders, 2024

Among the many extra miserable parts of all of that is that the second staff on this listing has a drought half the dimensions of Dallas’ on condition that the Chicago Bears final reached the title sport in 2010; their streak will flip 15 subsequent season once they have an opportunity to finish it. Dallas’ streak will flip 30, by far the elder statesman of the group.

Maybe the one manner that this entire factor might develop into even extra miserable for the Cowboys is that if their former coach in Mike McCarthy will get the Chicago job and ends that streak earlier than Dallas does with whoever takes over as his successor.

For now, the Dallas Cowboys stand alone. Within the worst doable manner.

Washington made it again earlier than them!
