Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys to Face Off for NFC Championship

Falcons Look to Continue Unlikely Playoff Run

After an improbable run to the NFC Championship game, the Atlanta Falcons will face off against the Dallas Cowboys. The Falcons have upset both the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs, and they will look to continue their magical run against the Cowboys. The Falcons are led by quarterback Matt Ryan, who has thrown for over 4,500 yards and 38 touchdowns this season. Julio Jones is Ryan's favorite target, and he has caught over 1,400 yards and six touchdowns this season. The Falcons also have a strong running game, led by Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.

Cowboys Aim to Return to Super Bowl

The Dallas Cowboys are the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and they are looking to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995. The Cowboys have a high-powered offense, led by quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott has thrown for over 3,800 yards and 24 touchdowns this season. Ezekiel Elliott is the Cowboys' leading rusher, and he has rushed for over 1,600 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. The Cowboys also have a strong defense, led by defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and cornerback Byron Jones.

Keys to the Game

The keys to the game will be the play of the quarterbacks, the running games, and the defenses. The Falcons will need Ryan to continue to play at a high level, and they will need Julio Jones to be a factor in the passing game. The Cowboys will need Prescott to be efficient with the ball, and they will need Elliott to be productive in the running game. The defenses will also play a key role in the game. The Falcons will need to generate pressure on Prescott, and they will need to limit the Cowboys' running game. The Cowboys will need to stop Ryan from getting into a rhythm, and they will need to force turnovers.
