The Dallas Cowboys are in first place in the NFC East. It’s a moment we never thought would get here because the Philadelphia Eagles went through a stretch where they refused to lose. Starting in late October, the Eagles won four straight games by seven points or less. We all remember those late-game failures by Kansas City and Buffalo that kept the Eagles' winning streak alive. Even the Cowboys themselves were in a perfect spot to beat Philly on the road, but just couldn’t get it done in the final seconds.
But alas, the levee in the Eagles dam of success has finally started to leak as Philadelphia has lost two straight, putting both them and the Cowboys at 10-3, with Dallas currently holding the division record tie-breaker (Cowboys 4-1, Eagles 3-1).
