After it looked like the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles were going to run away with the division, things have tightened up heading into the final five games of the regular season. The Eagles are still atop the division at 8-4, but the suddenly surging Dallas Cowboys are 6-5-1 and undefeated in the division currently, after a 21-point comeback against Philadelphia the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
As for the New York Giants and Washington Commanders, both teams have dealt with injuries to their young quarterbacks this season, and with games against the Eagles and Cowboys still on the schedule, they will certainly be eager to play spoiler through this final month.
