| - The National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game is one of the two semi-final playoff matches of the National Football League, the largest professional American football league in the United States. The game is played on the penultimate Sunday in January and determines the champion of the National Football Conference. The winner then advances to face the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game in the Super Bowl. The game was established as part of the 1970 merger between the NFL and the American Football League (AFL), with the merged league realigning into two conferences. The first NFC Championship Game was held on January 3, 1971, with the Dallas Cowboys defeating the San Francisco 49ers, 17-10. The most recent game was played on January 23, 2011, with the Green Bay Packers defeating the Chicago Bears, 21-14. Since 1984, each winner of the NFC Championship Game has also received the George Halas Trophy, named after the longtime leader of the NFL's Chicago Bears.
