NFC East standings: Eagles, Giants share best record after Week 3
The Eagles and Giants share the NFC East’s best record, while Dallas and Washington remain one game back entering Week 4
The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants each hold the best record in the NFC East after Week 3, sharing a 2-1 record. The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders follow, both with 1-2 records.
The Eagles have scored 55 points while allowing 69, and the Giants have scored 46 while allowing 55. These margins indicate that neither team has a significant separation, despite their shared division lead.
The Eagles must address their turnovers and stalled possessions, which contributed to their 27-7 loss in Chicago. They have a minus-5 turnover differential and face the Rams, who rank first in total offense. On a positive note, Philadelphia has already defeated Washington, giving them a 1-0 division record.
For the Giants, a 12-7 win over Tennessee maintained their 2-1 standing, but scoring remains a concern. They average 15.3 points per game and recently traded for J.J. McCarthy. A positive aspect is that they are 2-0 at home and have allowed the fewest points in the division.
The Cowboys scored 31 points against Baltimore but lost 34-31, highlighting the need for their defense to protect leads and limit explosive plays. They lead the division with 88 points and have the only positive scoring differential.
Washington's 0-2 record in the division puts them at a disadvantage, with 92 points allowed, the most in the NFC East. However, they have scored 75 points, providing offensive production to work with as they stabilize their defense.
