Washington takes command in the NFC East

Prior to the start of this season, if you had the Washington Commanders in sole possession of first place in the NFC East after four weeks, there would have been one universal reaction.

The tension in the air surrounding the Dallas Cowboys can be cut through like a knife through some Texas brisket on a lovely summer evening.

Dallas Cowboys Irritating Game Against the NY Giants

Irritating. This is one of the many words that can describe this year’s Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys versus the New York Giants was a game of attrition. Each team struggled to get any offense going, and the defenses on both sides were below average. There’s hope in the form of key players like Brandon Aubrey, …

A dark horse to win the WR3 job for the Cowboys is being overlooked

Cowboys hoping Giants are the cure to their recent ills

At the beginning of the season, everyone, including myself, circled the fourth-week matchup at New York as an automatic win. As Lee Corso would say: Not so fast, my friend. The Dallas Cowboys are not playing the kind of football that inspires the kind of confidence to talk about “automatic wins” right now. The Giants, also …

 Cowboys own huge advantage in all-time record against Giants

Bold performances will be key to Cowboys’ victory over Giants

The Dallas Cowboys are at 1-2, and in desperate need of a bounce back game after consecutive home losses. It’s not really the fact that they’ve lost two straight.

Somewhere in the general area of Washington D.C., Dan Quinn is probably still smiling. Somehow, with a rebuilt offense and defense, a new coaching staff, and a rookie starting quarterback Quinn has the Washington Commanders at 2-1. They are also tied for first place in the NFC East.

The NFC East is a logjam two weeks into the season

It was a crazy week in the NFL’s second week of the 2024 season. It may take a few days to find a proper description for the NFC East’s second week of play. The Dallas Cowboys came into the week looking for a 2-0 start and got run out of their own building. The Philadelphia Eagles …

Former Cowboys’ receiver helps NFC East avoid preseason finale sweep

The NFC East nearly went 0-4 in the final week of the 2024 preseason on Sunday. Ironically, it was a former Cowboys player who did it. And he was playing for one of the Cowboys’ division rivals. Martavis Bryant’s four-yard touchdown reception with three minutes left capped the Washington Commanders’ 20-10 win over the Patriots in …
