How did all this start?
The first stage of NFC Championship history dates back to 1970, when the game was created. This was a huge moment for American football, as it created a way to determine which team would represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. This game has been played every year since, except for 1983 and 2002 (due to labor disputes).
Over the years, the NFC Championship has been home to some of the most exciting moments in American football history. We’ve compiled the list of the most famous and important ones below:
- The Ice Bowl: This 1967 game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers is considered one of the greatest games of all time. It was played in -13 degree weather and ended with a Packers touchdown in the final seconds.
- The Comeback: In 1992, the Buffalo Bills came back from a 35-31 deficit to beat the Houston Oilers 41-38 in overtime. This is considered one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history.
- The Miracle in Minneapolis: In 1998, the Minnesota Vikings beat the New York Giants 41-33 in overtime. This game is famous for the Hail Mary pass that Vikings quarterback Randall Cunningham threw to wide receiver Randy Moss to win the game.
- The Philly Special: In 2018, the Eagles pulled off a trick play called the Philly Special to score a touchdown against the New England Patriots. This play helped the Eagles win their first ever Super Bowl.
