Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles duke it out for the NFC East
By Tyrone Starr
Just like last season, the 2019 NFC East will come down to two teams. Here is how the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys will duke it out.
The 2019 NFL season begins in two days. For the Dallas Cowboys, their season starts Sunday afternoon at home against their divisional rival New York Giants. For every team, there are small goals and larger ones.
Every team wants to make the playoffs. Every team wants a long playoff run culminating in hoisting the Lombardi trophy in February, however only one team will do so.
Winning your division is the easiest route to a playoff run. As it pertains to the NFC East, two teams hope to do so, while two teams expect that result.
In all reality, both the New York Giants and Washington Redskins have no real shot at making the playoffs as the NFC East Champion.
The talent level of these two franchises are far behind the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Of course, strange things happen and there is always a chance. That chance is quite minimal in all honesty.
In an attempt to be thorough, however, this divisional preview will breakdown all four teams. The NFC East has not had a repeat champion since the Eagles of 2003 and 2004 did so. The history does not bode well for the Dallas Cowboys.
Can they be the first in fifteen years to repeat or will the last team to do so take the mantle. Let’s dive right in to our NFC East preview with the team I predict will finish last.
