Where do the 2021 Dallas Cowboys rank in the NFC East?
By Tyrone Starr
Special Teams
Graham Gano, Riley Dixon, Casey Kreiter – New York Giants (three points)
Greg Zuerlein, Bryan Anger, Jake McQuaide – Dallas Cowboys (two points)
Dustin Hopkins, Tress Way, Camaron Cheeseman – Washington Football Team (one point)
Jake Elliott, Arryn Siposs, Rick Lovato – Philadelphia Eagles
The Giants go back-to-back with gold medal victories thanks mostly to Gano’s elite accuracy. Gano missed just one field goal in 32 attempts with the one miss coming from 50+ yards. Dallas has a solid kicker/punter combination, but Zuerlein must improve on his deep kicks as he only made three of nine attempts in 2020. Washington has the best punter of the group, but they could use a more accurate kicker.

Washington Football Team (one gold medal, four silver, six bronze – 17 points)
New York Giants (two gold medals, four silver, two bronze – 16 points)
