Surprise, surprise; the Cowboys and Eagles are winners while the Commanders and Giants are losers. If you didn’t already know that going into the 2024 season, Week 1 was a good reminder about who runs the NFC East.
We’re being facetious here, but only to a point. Everyone from oddsmakers to most casual fans had Dallas or Philadelphia winning the division this season. That hardly happens after one week, but a look at the standings today feels like it sets the tone for the rest of the year.
Here are the NFC East standings after Week 1:
- Philadelphia Eagles 1-0 (0-0 in division, 1-0 vs NFC)
- Dallas Cowboys 1-0 (0-0, 0-0)
- New York Giants 0-1 (0-0, 0-1)
- Washington Commanders 0-1 (0-0, 0-1)
We hate to admit it, but Philly had one of the most impressive wins of the week on their Brazilian vacation.
