Everything about Nfc Championship Game totally explained
The NFC Championship Game is one of the two semi-final matches of the National Football League, the largest professional American football league in the United States. The game is currently played on the penultimate Sunday in January and determines the champion of the National Football Conference. The winner receives the George Halas Trophy and advances to face the winner of the AFC Championship Game in the Super Bowl. The current NFC Champions are the New York Giants.
It began in 1970 after the merger between the NFL and the American Football League. The NFC was formed with most of the teams that played in the NFL before the merger.
Playoff structure
At the end of each football season, a series of playoff games involving the top six teams in the NFC are conducted, consisting of the four division champions and two wild card teams. The two teams remaining play in the NFC Championship game.
