With two more losses this season, the NFC East will cement its place in history as the worst division ever in the NFL.
It’s that bad.
While the rest of the league is duking it out for highly-coveted playoff spots at the top of the standings, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys are currently involved in a rock fight at the top of the division, trying to determine which team with a losing record will host a playoff game come January.
Here’s how the NFC East shakes out right now:
Dallas Cowboys: 6-7
Philadephia Eagles: 6-7
Washington Redskins: 3-10
New York Giants: 2-11
Put that together, and you get a record of 17-35, which is actually a worse winning percentage than the worst in NFL history, the 2008 NFC West, which finished the season 22-42.
The Giants play the Miami Dolphins this week, and the Cowboys play the Los Angeles Rams. Those are the last two non-division games for any NFC East team, so if they lose those, then the division cements its place in history.
On the bright side, at least it’s not just the Redskins that are historically awful for once.
