Daniels also turned the Dallas Cowboys into a social media punchline with the Commanders’ dominating victory.

As Washington moved one win away from the Super Bowl, the Cowboys fell further down the list in NFL history.

In fact, Jerry Jones‘ football franchise reached rock bottom.

The Commanders hadn’t reached the NFC Championship since the 1991 season, which was the longest drought in the conference.

But with Washington advancing and waiting to see if it would play Philadelphia or the Los Angeles Rams in the next stage of the playoffs, another team was crowned as the NFC’s drought champion.

The Cowboys.

Dallas hasn’t been to the NFC Championship game since 1995, which now marks the longest drought in the conference.

Fans unloaded on Jones and his squad, which was once known as ‘America’s Team’ but has been more associated with annual failure in recent decades.

The Cowboys recently fired Mike McCarthy as head coach, while Washington and Philly both represented the NFC East in the postseason.

Dallas has now gone almost 30 years without reaching the game before the Super Bowl.
