Remember when the NFC East was “the toughest division in football”?
Here’s the reality from Week 6: The Redskins lost to another winless team. The Cowboys had a bye week after getting taken to overtime by the Chiefs in Week 5. The Eagles traveled across the country to embarrass themselves in Oakland. And the Giants allowed 48 points to the Saints in a game that was supposed to be about Eli Manning‘s return home to New Orleans.
So if any division needs to save face in Week 7, it’s those four beasts in the East. And all are on center stage.
The Cowboys have a chance to prove themselves against a one-loss Atlanta Falcons team that made the playoffs last year.
The Giants face the defending NFC champion Arizona Cardinals on NBC Sunday Night Football.
And Monday Night Football features the Redskins and Eagles. If the Redskins win and there aren’t any fans at FedEx Field to see it, does it still count?
