NFC HistoryThe NFC Championship is the way to the Super Bowl, no two ways around it! This Championship is the semi final, matching the top two teams in the division, determining the champion of the National Football Conference. The winning team receives the George Halas trophy, and goes head to head with the winner of the American Football Conference. The NFC Championship had its start in 1970, when the NFL Merged with the AFL. The NFC was created with the teams that were NFL before the merger took place. In the end of each football season, a series of playoff games take place, involving the top six teams – four division champs and two wild cards. The two remaining teams play in the NFC Championship game. |
