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.

After losing Tony Romo to injury the year before, Dak Prescott stepped in during his rookie season and led the Cowboys to their best finish in nearly a decade.
