Eagles are back-to-back NFC East champs, but Super Bowl wins are the standard now
The Philadelphia Eagles have secured their place as back-to-back champions in the NFC East, a division that hasn't seen another team with a winning record since last season. This marks the first time in a generation that the Eagles have accomplished such a feat. The New York Giants, who haven't made a playoff appearance in 15 years, have brought in a perennial winner in John Harbaugh to help lead them to success.
The Dallas Cowboys have focused on fixing their defense in an offseason centered on improving their performance. The Philadelphia Eagles, having won two titles in three appearances over the past decade, have set a Super Bowl standard, making it the bar for playing in the final game of the NFL season rather than an aberration. The Eagles have not shown much excitement about winning their second consecutive division title, considering last season's struggles.
Philadelphia parted ways with offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, replaced by Sean Mannion, and traded away wide receiver AJ Brown, with DeVonta Smith now leading the team. Dallas has drafted safety Caleb Downs and edge rusher Malachi Lawrence, while the Giants aim to boost player intensity and expectations with the arrival of John Harbaugh, who brings a Super Bowl ring and leadership to the team.
The Washington Commanders have reshuffled their coaching staff after a regression in performance, with new coordinators David Blough and Daronte Jones taking over for Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr. on offense and defense, respectively.
