The Philadelphia Eagles will be playing for a share of first place in the NFC East on Monday night after the Dallas Cowboys dropped another one, this time to the Chicago Bears on the road.
With the Bears 31-24 win at home, the Cowboys dropped to 6-7 on the season and now are set to be even in the standings if the Eagles can take care of business on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants.
Here’s how the NFC East currently stands.
NFC East Standings
1. 6-7 Cowboys
2. 5-7 Eagles
3. 3-9 Giants
4. 2-10 Redskins
Even with the loss by Dallas, the Eagles still need to win their final four games — all NFC East contest — to have any shot at winning the division.
A loss to the Rams before the Week 16 contest in Philadelphia against the Eagles, could put even more pressure on Dallas going down the stretch.
After the Eagles dismal loss to the Dolphins on the road last Sunday, Philadelphia has no room for error and they have no reason to take the Giants or any other team in the NFL lightly at this point.
With the Cowboys losing, the sense of urgency should be raised for an Eagles team that can finally live up to the massive preseason hype.
