  "account": "The NFC East is in jeopardy of breaking an NFL record after the Dallas Cowboys suffered a loss to the Green Bay Packers. This would mark the first time since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 that a division has gone winless in back-to-back weeks with all teams playing. The Washington Commanders, currently underdogs against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, would finish the Week 6 slate with a 0-3 record. If the Commanders were to lose, the NFC East would join the ranks of the least successful divisions in recent history, matching or surpassing the 2010 NFC West, 2020 NFC East, and 2022 NFC South.",
