On Sunday, the Washington Commanders will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the franchise’s first NFC title game in over thirty years. Yes, you read that right,over thirty years. The last time Washington fans saw a season this successful was when a dominant squad led by QB Mark Rypien crushed the Detroit Lions in the 1992 conference championship

In a mere matter of days before the NFC Championship Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, The Athletic has intercepted communication between two of its beat reporters, Brooks Kubena and Ben Standig, in which they enlisted one another as quasi-analysts to gain insight into the other’s team.

This Eagles-Commanders game isn't for all the marbles, but it's for a shot to play in the Super Bowl, and that's a huge deal.
