NFC Championship Games

This is my collection of NFC Championship games and, from 1992 to the present, are masters (meaning taped by me), labeled as "M". However, they were taped at SLP (or EP) speed. 

Starting in 1999, masters were taped at LP speed. 

Starting in 2001, masters are taped at SP speed. 

"1" means right off the master, or 1st generation. 

"Pre-game" here is defined as those festivities just before the game starts. 

"Pre-game show" is the longer network broadcast preceding the actual game.
