With five weeks left in the 2025 regular season, we suddenly have a real race in the NFC East. A three-game win streak for the Cowboys, coupled with a two-game slump for the Philadelphia Eagles, has brought Dallas just two games behind the division leaders. Remember a few weeks ago when all those "the NFC East will have a repeat winner for the first time since 2004" posts were circulating? Cute, right? The streak is fighting for survival as Dallas is coming on strong in a push for the playoffs. While a wild card spot is still available as a path to the postseason, the Cowboys' ascension has them on a potential collision course with the spiraling Super Bowl champs.
The Miami Dolphins (5-7) held on for a critical 21-17 victory against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, extending their winning streak to three games. Running back De'Von Achane led the offensive attack with 134 yards, while safety Minkah Fitzpatrick provided a game-changing moment with an interception return for 2 points late in the game.
