You know that moment when you break up with someone, and at first, you feel justified? Maybe they weren’t the right fit. Maybe you thought you could do better. Maybe you believed they had maxed out their potential with you.

The stage is set for the NFC Championship Game and it’s exactly what Dallas Cowboys fans feared it could be. Former Dallas defensive coordinator Dan Quinn turned the Washington Commanders around in his first season and took his team to the Conference Championship.

From Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore to Dorance Armstrong and Neville Gallimore, former Cowboys were all over the scene.

The Cowboys D-line has been anchored by Lawrence since 2014, but he seems to be a good fit in Washington for 2025.

The Eagles and Commanders are surging right as the Cowboys are at their most hopeless. That feels about right.

The victory marked the first time in 33 years the Washington franchise has made it this far. Aside from the rivalry aspect of things, this is significant to Dallas fans as Washington’s drought was slightly longer than the Cowboys. The Redskins (at the time) won the Super Bowl the year before Dallas’ dynasty began, winning three in four years.

With free agency on the mind of teams like the Dallas Cowboys already, the Washington Commanders could be benefactors of that franchise's struggles.

Two former Dallas Cowboys are making their presence felt for the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round.
