To the surprise of many, the Cowboys are just one win away from clinching the NFC East. No help is needed; they already got that with the Eagles’ 1-4 record in December. Not only would beating the Washington Commanders this Sunday give Dallas the division, but it would also perpetuate the 18-year streak of there being no repeat champions in the NFC East.
Since the Eagles claimed four-straight division titles from 2001-2004, no team has been able to win the NFC East in back-to-back seasons. The Cowboys and Eagles are tied at six division wins apiece during this period, while the Commanders and Giants each have three.
