For most of the 2023 season, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles were viewed as the only teams that could beat the mighty San Francisco 49ers in the NFC.
That wasn’t the case, with both NFC East squads getting bounced in the wild-card round. The Eagles, who started 10–1, had a disastrous second half to the season before losing in ugly fashion to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs. The Cowboys stole the division from the Eagles, but that did them no favors with a disappointing home playoff loss vs. the Green Bay Packers.
Dallas and Philadelphia now head into a pivotal offseason, needing to retool their respective rosters to become a legitimate contender. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders have question marks at quarterback, but they have ideal options to possibly upgrade the most important position in football.
