Eagles level the playing field ahead of week 6: State of the NFC East

Week 5 is in the books and you know what that means! It’s time for our little talk about the state of the NFC East!

Now, the Cowboys lost to the Packers on Sunday, who lost to the Eagles the week before so I guess that means the Eagles are the better team? It might, but it depends on who you’re asking and what kind of day it is! As for the Giants and the Redskins, well they’ve found their natural habitat at the bottom of the NFC East. Now I’ll let you digest all of that but as for now, here’s your week 6 guide on the State of the NFC East:
