NFC East stages late-season turnaround

Associated Press  

The NFC East is no longer the laughingstock division in the NFL. After combining to win just two of their first 21 non-division games this season, the teams from the NFC East have been knocking off some powerhouses in recent weeks. With Washington winning again last week against San Francisco and Dallas knocking off Cincinnati, the NFC East won three non-division games in the same week for the first time since Week 3 in 2018. In all, NFC East teams have an 8-5 record the past four weeks when playing games outside the division, the most wins of any division in that span. With two wins in the final six-non division games this season, the NFC East can top that mark.
