Dallas Cowboys are the mssful team in the tournament. The team and the Pittsburgh Steelers hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances (8), which corresponds to the most NFC titles (8).
The Cowboys are the first NFL team to have 20 straight winning seasons (1966–1985), missing the postseason just twice (1974 and 1984).
2023 NFC Championship
The 2023 NFC Championship tournament is all set for the year. At Lincoln Financial Field, the Philadelphia Eagles will take on the San Francisco 49ers in a thrilling game.
On Sunday, January 29, the NFC championship game for this year will begin at 3:00 PM ET on Fox. In just over two weeks, the winner of this game will face the AFC Championship champions in the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants were easily defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 38-7 in their divisional round meeting on Saturday. The team of Nick Sirianni appeared strong defensively and ruthless offensively.
After concluding the regular season with the greatest record (14-3) among all NFL teams, the club has carried on where they left off. They are undoubtedly among the favourites to win the Super Bowl this year with Jalen Hurts playing at his peak.
In the meantime, the 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card round to win the NFC West title. The team led by Kyle Shanahan later defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round to move on to the NFC Championship contest.
San Francisco has a remarkable 12-game winning streak that will be difficult to end. It’s reasonable to assume that this year’s NFC Championship game will be a spectacle.
