Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has praised the team's full-game intensity as key to defeating the Detroit Lions.

The NFC Championship Game will feature two teams from the NFC East and neither of them is the Dallas Cowboys for the 30th year.

It's been nearly three decades since the Cowboys last made the NFC championship game. They now have the longest title game drought in the conference.

Now that the Commanders have reached this playoff feat, a new team takes the unfortunate streak since last making an NFC championship, and it happens to be the Dallas Cowboys.

What head coach Dan Quinn has achieved with the Washington Commanders this year hasn't been lost on at least one prominent player from his last stop.
