NFC East- 2017 Season

One team rose to the top in the NFC last season, and that was the Philadelphia Eagles. Although most thought that the Eagles would be competitive, very few people imagined Carson Wentz maturing so quickly. Additionally, after Wentz went down late in the season, it was hard for many prognosticators as well as fans to imagine Nick Foles taking Philadelphia to the Super Bowl and then winning it. There was a lot of talk about Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot and the Dallas Cowboys going down to the wire with Eli Manning and Odell Beckham and the New York Giants. But that was not to be. And anyone who had faith in Cousins and the Skins lost it by midseason as the injuries piled up.
