Eagles take flight while Cowboys remain steadfast in NFC East power rankings after Week 4 stalemate
The Dallas Cowboys remain a formidable presence in the NFC East Power Rankings following an intriguing Week 4 matchup that ended in a tie. The clash against the Green Bay Packers, while devoid of a winner, showcased the competitive spirit of the division. As the NFL gears up for Week 5, here’s a closer look at where each team stands.
New York Giants struggle to find footing
The New York Giants have been grappling with their performance this season, yet there were glimmers of hope in Week 4. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart took the reins for his first start, leading the Giants to a surprising victory over the previously undefeated Los Angeles Chargers. This win provided a much-needed boost to the fanbase, offering a reason to celebrate. Nevertheless, their overall record still keeps them at the bottom of the NFC East standings.
Washington Commanders face adversity
The Washington Commanders are currently navigating a challenging period without their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, who has been sidelined for two weeks. In the previous week, backup Marcus Mariota stepped up to deliver a victory, but Week 4 proved to be a different story. Despite having a more talented roster than their recent results suggest, the Commanders are not quite playoff contenders at this moment. Their struggles continue without Daniels at the helm.
Dallas Cowboys maintain their position
The Cowboys, despite their unusual tie, still appear to be the second-best team in the NFC East after Week 4. Their defense has shown vulnerability, but the potential for greatness remains if they can tighten up their performance. With key players like wide receiver George Pickens making impactful plays, the Cowboys are poised to capitalize on any opportunities that come their way as they move forward.
Philadelphia Eagles soar above the rest
At the top of the rankings are the Philadelphia Eagles, who have established themselves as a dominant force in the NFL. Their recent game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a testament to their depth and versatility, solidifying their status as the most well-rounded team in the league. Quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to lead the charge, and with a strong supporting cast, the Eagles are sending a clear message to their competitors: they are the team to beat.
As the NFC East heads into Week 5, the standings reflect a blend of emerging talent and established powerhouses. The Cowboys may have hit a bump in the road, but with their resilience, they remain a strong contender. Meanwhile, the Giants and Commanders are searching for consistency, while the Eagles fly high, setting the tone for the division.
