The biggest question after Sunday’s games? Do any of the four NFC East teams actually want to win the division? Because none of them are playing like it.

As former NFL Super Bowl winning scout, Bryan Broaddus says, the NFL is a strange lady. What he means by this is that most times the season doesn’t go the way everyone expects it to. If it was that easy, the majority Super Bowl pick would win the championship every season, and we can all stop …
