Nope. The Superbowl is the best AFC team vs. the best NFC team. The Cowboys and Redskins have both been in the same conference since the merge of the AFL and NFC into what we now know as the NFL. It's impossible.

Under the current format, they can't, because they're in the same conference, as everyone has mentioned. As long as that remains the case, it won't happen.
However, teams have switched conferences in the past. The most recent was Seattle, moving from the AFC to the NFC. If that were to happen again, a 'Boys/'Skins Super Bowl might become possible. But don't expect it anytime in the foreseeable future.
Comment on one response--The Cowboys and Redskins have not been in the same division and same conference as long as the NFL has been around. For two reasons: The NFL went many years without divisions or conferences. And neither of those teams have been around as long as the NFL. But they have been together ever since the Cowboys joined the NFL.

i think sorry for absolutely everyone who does not watch this Superbowl, with the aid of fact it somewhat is a mind-blowing one. anybody is asserting the Colts are a shoe-in, yet: The Colts run protection grew to become into suspect for most of the season, so do no longer shocked if their cutting-edge fulfillment interior the playoffs in that branch starts off to fold somewhat throughout the time of the huge game. between the league's ultimate offenses as against between the league's ultimate defenses- it's going to make for an extremely thrilling game, as long with the aid of fact the viewer has any awareness as to the nuances of play calling, formations, programs, and different differences. If the Colts overload the run D too lots, then Grossman can use between the few strengths he has: the huge bypass downfield. on the different edge of the ball, the Colts will in all probability ought to bypass to establish the run, meaning Peyton would be throwing the ball lots-- and if he does not choke, this could be a wildly alluring game. i'm a Steelers fan, through ways, so I have not have been given any bias in direction of the two team and only want to work out a mind-blowing game.

No under the current set up in the NFL to teams from the same conference can't play each other in the Superbowl. However after the way the NFC teams have played this season maybe they should.

They have never played in the Superbowl against each other because they are in the same conference. They cannot meet each other in the Superbowl.

Theyre in the same NFC East Division, so thats virtually impossible.
The Super Bowl is an NFC team -v- an AFC team.

No, they never have and never will. They are in the same conference so any interconference playoffs are in play. The Cowboys have played the Steelers (3X), Bills (twice), Dolphins, Broncos, Colts.

Not possible; they are both in the National Footbal Conference and have always been since the NFL merged with the AFL
