The Commanders are three days away from their first NFC Conference Championship game in over 30 years. This NFC East heavyweight matchup marks just the fourth time division opponents have met in the conference championship since 2000. Washington will have their hands full Sunday against the number two seed, but it is not an unimaginable feat. Washington has an opportunity Sunday to be the third team ever to win against the top three seeds in their conference in a single postseason and the third sixth seed to reach the Super Bowl. Former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert believes the Commanders can be the third team to accomplish that feat.
