NFC East update: Eagles pulling away
"It's hard to believe that the Dallas Cowboys are still in second place after getting trampled by the Broncos. But Washington stayed below .500 themselves with a loss to the Chiefs. They expect QB Jayden Daniels back this week, which will be huge, but even he's only gone 2-3 so far this year. They're no exception to the NFC East's awful defensive performances this season; all of Washington, Dallas, and the New York Giants are ranked 27th or lower in total defense right now."
"Thankfully, Seattle at 5-2 is a far more threatening opponent than Arizona at 2-5, but Dallas has had a bad run with their former division rivals over the last two decades. The Cowboys are 1-7 against the Cardinals going back to 2008. After all the talk of our rough history with Denver and what happened last Sunday, this becomes an even darker cloud hanging over this game."
The Philadelphia Eagles lead the NFC East and are pulling away as the rest of the division struggles. The Dallas Cowboys occupy second despite a heavy loss to the Broncos and a prolonged poor record versus the Cardinals. The Washington Commanders remain below .500 after losing to the Chiefs and expect QB Jayden Daniels to return; Daniels is 2-3 so far. Washington, Dallas, and the New York Giants rank 27th or lower in total defense, contributing to the division's collapse. The Giants lost RB Cam Skattebo for the season, further dimming their outlook. Week 9 has the Eagles on bye, Seahawks at Commanders Sunday night, and Cowboys hosting the Cardinals Monday.
