As a No. 6 seed, they are also pursuing the rare achievement of joining the 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2010 Green Bay Packers as lower-seeded teams to make it to the Super Bowl.
Head coach Dan Quinn adds another layer of intrigue to this already compelling narrative.
Having previously led the Atlanta Falcons to Super Bowl LI in 2016, Quinn now stands a chance to become the eighth head coach to guide multiple teams to the championship game.
He’d be joining coaching legends like Bill Parcells, Don Shula, and Andy Reid in this elite group.
The upcoming NFC Championship promises a thrilling matchup of run-focused offenses, with rookie sensation Jayden Daniels at the helm for the Washington Commanders.
As the team continues its improbable journey, the excitement builds around a potential Cinderella story that could culminate in Super Bowl glory.
