After two games, the Washington Football Team is in a three-way tie for first place in the NFC East. By virtue of its win over NFC East rival, the New York Giants, Washington owns the top spot.
Sure, being in first place in Week 2 means nothing, but 1-1 is a much better place to be than 0-2. Ask the Giants.
The NFC East was an unmitigated disaster in 2020. So, Washington picking up a division win early in the season has them in a good position. Washington doesn’t play another NFC East game until December, where the last five games on the schedule are all NFC East games.
The Dallas Cowboys picked up their first win of the season on Sunday when kicker Greg Zuerlein booted a 56-yard field as time expired to beat the Los Angeles Chargers.
Meanwhile, in Philadelphia, the Eagles dropped to 1-1 after a 17-11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Washington has the toughest draw in Week 3 with a trip to Buffalo. The Cowboys host the Eagles on Monday Night Football, meaning one will be 1-2 next week. Finally, the Giants should pick up their first win with the Atlanta Falcons coming to town.
If the NFC East is anything like it was in 2020, the division leaders could change on a weekly basis.
