Cowboys win over Saints will hurt Redskins chances of winning NFC East

This week was always going to be a big one in the NFC East. The Redskins and Eagles are meeting in a key Monday-night matchup that has massive implications in the division. The winner will still have a chance to make the playoffs and compete for the NFC East crown. The loser? Things would look bleak.

Of course, that wasn’t the only big game this week. The Cowboys were taking on the Saints on Thursday night in a contest that few expected that Cowboys to have a shot in. The red-hot Saints had won 10 in a row and though they were on the road, their offense was unstoppable.
