Dallas Cowboys’ Playoff Woes Continue: Schefter Says It’s Time for Change: The Coaching Staff Under Fire
The Washington Commanders shocked the world on Saturday night and went to the Motor City and delivered the top-seeded Detroit Lions a loss in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. You would have thought that exclusive rights for a silver and blue squad to underwhelm so badly in the round in question would belong to America’s Team, but clearly not.
That it is a “shocker” that the Lions of all teams will not be in the NFC Championship Game is still quite the reality to live in. Detroit has significantly turned around their culture and finally reached the penultimate game of the season last year. They were one of two teams who held a longer drought than the Dallas Cowboys do. Obviously they put an end to it.
That left only a single team with a longer drought than Dallas in the Washington Commanders. They had not reached an NFC Championship Game since 1991… until now.
You know what that means. The Dallas Cowboys now have the longest NFC Championship Game appearance drought.
