The NFC East was a laughingstock last season, with the Washington Football Team winning the division with a 7-9 record, but the 2021 NFL season offers promises of change and optimism.
Washington has one of the best defenses, and perhaps veteran journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick can add some stability at quarterback. The New York Giants (6-10) appear on the rise with second-year coach Joe Judge and the return of running back Saquon Barkley. The Dallas Cowboys (6-10) will return a bevy of players from injury, most notably quarterback Dak Prescott.
