The Commanders will play in their first NFC championship since the 1991 season next Sunday. They'll do so without one of their best offensive linemen.

The Washington Commanders will be without starting right guard Sam Cosmi for the rest of the playoffs. Cosmi suffered a torn ACL in Washington's NFC divisional-round win over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday night.

Sam Cosmi has been knocked down, but he is not pitying himself. The former Texas Longhorn tackle was injured Saturday night in the second quarter of the Commanders' 45-31 upset over the Lions in Detroit.
