Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn enters the 2024 NFC Championship Game with experience from 2016 to help him. That postseason, the former Atlanta Falcons HC was at the helm of the NFL‘s worst Super Bowl meltdown against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Following the Eagles' divisional round victory over the Rams, Falcons RB Bijan Robinson showed his appreciation towards Saquon Barkley.

The NFL Championship Game became the NFC Championship Game ... Philadelphia Eagles 2016: Atlanta Falcons 2015: Carolina Panthers 2014: Seattle Seahawks 2013: Seattle Seahawks 2012: San Francisco ...

Daniels entered Sunday's NFC championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles five yards short of the record for most passing yards by a rookie in the playoffs. He got there early.

Griese and the Don Shula-coached Miami Dolphins ran into a buzzsaw when they pushed to Super Bowl VI at the end of the 1971 season, getting pummeled 24-3 by Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, and the Dallas Cowboys. That hardly deterred them.

To say that the NFC Championship Game and the precipice of the Super Bowl is unfamiliar territory for the Washington Commanders is simultaneously false and true

Here are the teams with the most NFC Championship Game wins, losses and appearances ahead of this year's matchup between the Commanders and Eagles.

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

Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, and Dan Quinn are on the verge of historic milestones as the Commanders take on the Eagles for a shot at the Super Bowl.

Eight years later, Quinn is back on the cusp of a Super Bowl berth, this time as the first-year head coach of the Commanders. With a new head coach in Quinn and a rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels, Washington has reached the NFC championship game for the first time since 1992.

The margin between reaching the Super Bowl and not reaching the Super Bowl can be razor thin. On the NFC side of the postseason bracket, seven different teams have reached the big game in the last 10 years.
