What is 5-18-1? The NFC East after 6 weeks, of course

This is beyond weak. It is beyond the NFC Least. It is awful bordering on shameful.

After the Arizona Cardinals blasted the Dallas Cowboys in Texas on “Monday Night Football,” the worst division in the NFL, possibly in league history, is 5-18-1.

Here are the standings:

Dallas Cowboys 2-4

Philadelphia Eagles 1-4-1

New York Giants 1-5

Washington Football Team 1-5

One of these teams is going to win the division and earn a playoff spot. The division collectively has been outscored by 184 points in six weeks.

There are six individual teams that have as many victories as the entire NFC East.

Remember, the Washington victory came against Philadelphia and the Giants’ victory came over the WFT, 20-19, in Week — Weak? — 6.

The division will see at least two wins — barring ties — in Week 7. The Eagles play host to Big Blue on Thursday. The 1-4-1 Eagles will be without running back Miles Sanders and TE Zach Ertz, both injured.

Then, on Sunday, the rivalry that has delivered so many incredible games will produce what will likely be a forgettable one as Dallas goes to Washington.
