NFC East Power Rankings: Eagles are soaring and the class of this division

The NFC East has lived up to its reputation as one of the NFL's most fiercely competitive divisions this season. With 13 weeks of the campaign in the books, the Philadelphia Eagles have continued their dominance. The Washington Commanders are holding strong in their playoff pursuit.

The Dallas Cowboys have shown flashes of resilience despite setbacks. The New York Giants find themselves hoping for a brighter future.

With playoff races heating up, every game carries weight as these teams vie for postseason positioning. Here's how the division stacks up heading into Week 14. You'll find no surprises in this ranking.

4. New York Giants

Big Blue remains in the cellar with no clear path to move forward.

The New York Giants (2-10) find themselves in a familiar position. They're at the bottom of the NFC East and looking ahead to the NFL Draft.

Despite standout efforts from Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr., turnovers and poor execution continue to plague this team. Drew Lock's first start at quarterback did little to inspire confidence, and the offensive line remains a glaring issue.

The Giants will likely struggle again in Week 14. They face the New Orleans Saints as their focus shifts toward long-term rebuilding.

3. Dallas Cowboys

Dallas shows signs of life but still falls short of being a top-tier team.

After notching their first home win of the season and conquering back-to-back divisional games, the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) remain in the NFC playoff picture—but inconsistencies continue to limit their ceiling.

Cooper Rush led Dallas to a 27-20 victory over the Giants in Week 13, backed by a strong performance from Rico Dowdle and the defense.

However, with the Cincinnati Bengals and division rivals looming, the Cowboys' ability to contend for a wild-card spot will be no easy task.

2. Washington Commanders

The Commanders rebound with a dominant win as they eye the playoffs.

After a three-game losing skid, the Washington Commanders found themselves in a favorable Week 13 matchup with the Tenessee Titans. Their offensive prowess was reestablished behind Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin while the defense stepped up as well.

However, concerns about consistency remain as the Commanders head into their much-needed bye week. Sitting at 8-5, Washington has little room for error if they hope to challenge the Eagles for the NFC East crown.

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Philly keeps proving they’re built for a deep playoff run.

The Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) continue to excel in all phases of the game, securing their eighth consecutive win with a hard-fought road victory against the Baltimore Ravens.

Even without key contributors like DeVonta Smith and Brandon Graham, Philadelphia found ways to win behind strong performances from Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the defense.

Their Week 14 matchup against the Carolina Panthers presents an opportunity to solidify their position atop the division while fine-tuning their game for a postseason push.

The playoff race heats up as the NFL season nears its stretch run.

As Week 14 approaches, the NFC East remains a tale of contrasting fortunes.

The Eagles look poised for a deep playoff run, while the Commanders aim to keep pace with a wild-card spot in sight. The Cowboys are fighting to stay alive, and the Giants are already preparing for next season.

With divisional pride and playoff hopes on the line, this division promises plenty of drama as the season heads toward its conclusion.
