Eagles are back-to-back NFC East champs, but Super Bowl wins are the standard now

The Philadelphia Eagles became the first team in a generation to win back-to-back NFC East titles, in a division that saw no other club finish with a winning record last season. While the New York Giants have had only two playoff appearances since their franchise’s fourth Super Bowl, they moved toward a sustained winner by hiring John Harbaugh after he left Baltimore. The Dallas Cowboys devoted the offseason to repairing one of the NFL’s worst defenses, drafting safety Caleb Downs and edge rusher Malachi Lawrence in the first round. Washington’s outlook centers on Jayden Daniels staying healthy and reversing last year’s decline. In Philadelphia, quarterback Jalen Hurts gets a new offensive coordinator for the fifth consecutive season, following changes after a disappointing playoff exit.
