While two NFC contenders sat out Week 9 on their bye weeks, two others collided as the Philadelphia Eagles held off the Dallas Cowboys. As things stand, Philly is now in the driver’s seat in both the NFC East and the conference, while Dallas is looking more like a wild card team.
While the Cowboys are still well on their way to making the playoffs in 2023, last Sunday’s loss was a big setback. A win in Philly would have set up Dallas for taking the lead in the NFC East this Sunday, and potentially the NFC as a whole, with an expected victory over the New York Giants.
