NFC Notes: Jonathan Taylor, Dak Prescott, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott defended head coach Brian Schottenheimer following their loss to the Cardinals, calling it cowardly to blame a single person. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni backed offensive coordinator Sean Mannion following their Week 8 defeat, stating that he retains strong faith in his coaching staff while shouldering ultimate responsibility for the team's struggles.

Elsewhere in the NFC East, the New York Giants reportedly consider Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor their top trade deadline target, according to Ryan Dunleavy. However, the Giants may explore alternative offensive playmakers if Indianapolis's asking price for a deal does not decrease.
