Any way you look at it, the NFC East is in awful shape this year, but can the Cowboys take advantage of that?
Eight weeks into the 2015 NFL season, the NFC East doesn't have a single team with a winning record. The Giants lead the NFC East standings with a 4-4 record, the other three teams all have more losses than wins. The Cowboys, after a five-game losing streak, find themselves at the bottom of the NFC East table with a 2-5 record.
Since realignment in 2002, the NFC East has been in this bad a shape only once.
