The internet responds to the Washington Commanders unexpected win in the NFC Divisional round and the Cowboys continued NFC title drought.

With the Commanders ending their 33-year wait, the Cowboys now have the longest Championship game drought in the NFC.

The Washington Commanders snapped a 32-year NFC title game appearance drought Saturday as they defeated the Detroit Lions in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. That’s sweet enough on its own, but what it means for one of their biggest rivals,

After the Commanders defeated the Lions in the divisional round, the Cowboys now own the longest active drought, dating back to 1995.

From 1982 until 1991, the Commanders played in a total of five conference title games and four Super Bowls during a span that ended with three Lombardi Trophies. However, after losing to the Lions in the NFC title game to end their 1991 season, the Commanders didn't make it back to the NFC Championship until beating Detroit on Saturday night.

The Dallas Cowboys now have the longest NFC Championship drought in the league. Dallas has not been to the conference championship since 1996. Washington's last appearance was in 1991. DALLAS - The Washington Commanders win over the Detroit Lions on Saturday moved the Dallas Cowboys into a title no team wants to have.

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.
