JUST IN: Washington commanders 5 keys beating in NFC champions league final…

No, you’re not dreaming. nders most recently defeated the No. 1-seeded The Washington Commanders are headed to the NFC Championship game. For the first time since 1991, Washington is one game away from the Super Bowl. The CommaDetroit Lions in what was the largest upset playoff win in the NFL since 2019, and now they’re looking for another statement victory when they travel to take on the rival Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship this Sunday.
