"The Cowboys' season never seemed to get off of the launch pad. It took the team 13 weeks to finally get over.500 for the first time. The three-game win streak, capped by a Thanksgiving Day win over Kansas City, put Dallas at 6-5-1 and gave the franchise hope for the playoffs. The three-game losing streak that followed ended the playoff hopes. Sunday's loss to the Giants sealed the Cowboys' fate of suffering a second-straight losing year."
"Aside from the Philadelphia Eagles, the NFC East had a dismal 2025 season. If not for the NFC South, the division would be the worst in the NFL. For one year, it was the NFC Least once more. Before we recap the four teams, let's look at the predicted finishes from back before the season kicked off. NFC East Predicted Finishes 12-5 Washington Commanders 11-6 Philadelphia Eagles 6-11 Dallas Cowboys 5-12 New York Giants"
Preseason predictions expected the Washington Commanders at 12-5, Eagles 11-6, Cowboys 6-11, and Giants 5-12. Final standings were Eagles 11-6, Cowboys 7-9-1, Commanders 5-12, and Giants 4-13. The Eagles earned the #3 playoff seed and will host the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round. The Cowboys showed a midseason surge but finished with a second-straight losing year; offense and special teams were solid while the offensive line and defense require significant upgrades. Dallas aims to lock up Javonte Williams and George Pickens before free agency. The NFC East's overall performance ranked near the bottom of the league, slightly better than the NFC South.
