The Story in 60 Seconds

The NFC East risks becoming the first division in NFL history to go winless in consecutive weeks where all four teams played, depending on the Washington Commanders' result against the San Francisco 49ers. Following losses and a tie across the division, Washington remains the final team capable of preventing the historic milestone. The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants are navigating season-altering quarterback injuries to Jalen Hurts and Jaxson Dart, while Jayden Daniels has also dealt with health issues for Washington.

A to Z Sports argues that despite Philadelphia's offensive struggles without Hurts, an upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys presents a prime rebound opportunity. The writer highlights that Dallas defensive coordinator Christian Parker, previously a defensive backs coach for Philadelphia, is directing a struggling unit that could allow the depleted Eagles offense to regain its form.
