NFC East’s pathetic Week 5 at least gives Eagles hope fans didn’t think they had

Inside the Iggles argues that the Philadelphia Eagles remain strong contenders in the NFC East despite a poor start, largely due to struggles across the entire division. Week 5 marked the first time in NFL history that an entire division went winless when two of its teams faced each other, as the New York Giants and Washington Commanders tied 27-27 and the Dallas Cowboys lost 24-16 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The writer notes that Philadelphia sits in second place at 2-3 due to divisional tiebreakers, despite dealing with offensive issues and injuries. The article suggests that vulnerabilities among divisional rivals, including key injuries for the Giants and defensive troubles for Dallas, leave the door open for Philadelphia to potentially capture the division title with eight or nine wins.
