Previewing the NFC East: Will the 1st Place Team Have a Winning Record in 2021?

There have been 13 out of the 55 Super Bowl winners that have come from this division even though these four teams were pitifully weak in 2020. All of these franchises are proud and they will be back to the top eventually.

On paper, it would appear the the Cowboys are the class of the division but as we all know they don’t always live up to the hype. They have a problem if Prescott goes down again, but most teams suffer when they lose the quarterback.

Washington won the division a year ago and they have brought in Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. They have a strong defense that should keep them in games and if the offense can make some improvements they could repeat.

New York seems to be getting better and have a young quarterback in Daniel Jones who could emerge as a star in year 3. The running game should be better with the return of Saquon Barkley and they added Kenny Golladay at receiver. They have a solid defense and could be a surprise.

The Eagles are reshaping their team and seem to be content with it. I doubt if there are fans will be too happy. Jalen Hurts is the starting quarterback and they signed 36 year old Joe Flacco as insurance in case Hurts fails. Defensively, they have some holes in the secondary that have to be filled.
