"With five weeks left in the 2025 regular season, we suddenly have a real race in the NFC East. A three-game win streak for the Cowboys, coupled with a two-game slump for the Philadelphia Eagles, has brought Dallas just two games behind the division leaders. Remember a few weeks ago when all those "the NFC East will have a repeat winner for the first time since 2004" posts were circulating? Cute, right? The streak is fighting for survival as Dallas is coming on strong in a push for the playoffs. While a wild card spot is still available as a path to the postseason, the Cowboys' ascension has them on a potential collision course with the spiraling Super Bowl champs."
"Even before the back-to-back losses to Dallas and Chicago, the Eagles' offense struggled in wins over Green Bay and Detroit. Their defense carried them through those games, but hasn't been as stalwart in recent weeks. But now that Philly's cleared a tough stretch of NFC contenders and the disruptive holiday schedule, the big question is if they still have a few more losses in them."
"The Eagles' remaining schedule is as follows: @ Chargers, Raiders, @ Commanders, @ Bills, and Commanders again. Los Angeles and Buffalo are both 8-4 AFC contenders, so there's some hope there. And with another three weeks until the first Washington game, that gives QB Jayden Daniels more time to potentially return. While the Commanders' season is over, a Dan Quinn team isn't likely to just roll over for a division rival."
With five weeks remaining, the NFC East race tightened as the Cowboys won three straight while the Eagles slid in back-to-back defeats, leaving Dallas two games behind. Dallas' surge puts them on a potential collision course with Philadelphia for division control or a wild-card berth if the Eagles suffer further losses. Philadelphia's offense showed earlier struggles and the defense has been less reliable recently despite clearing a difficult stretch of opponents. The Eagles face challenging remaining opponents including the Chargers and Bills, and Washington's QB situation could change outcomes. Dallas likely needs to win out to force tiebreak scenarios.
