"The Cowboys not only managed to get back to .500 with Sunday's rout of the Commanders, they slid into second place in the division too. They now lead Washington by .5 games and the Giants by 1.5 games. That also happens to be the margin they trail the Eagles by for first. And Philadelphia already has a win in hand over Dallas. The Cowboys still have a hard road ahead of them to catch the Eagles or even secure a wildcard playoff spot."
"A loss on Sunday probably would have been the next-to-last nail in their 2025 playoff coffin. For one more week at least, those hopes are on life support. Next Game: at Denver, Sunday, 3:25 p.m. New York Giants (2-5) It was there for the taking for the Giants on Sunday. A 19-point lead going into the final quarter against Denver. And they blew it."
Week 7 produced dramatic shifts across the NFC East as the Eagles secured a win while the other three teams experienced wild outcomes. The Cowboys returned to .500 and moved into second place, trailing the Eagles by one game and holding narrow leads over Washington and the Giants. Washington collapsed in the third quarter to allow a rout, and the Giants surrendered a 19-point lead in the fourth, yielding 33 points and likely suffering a critical setback. Dallas faces a difficult remaining schedule but showed a strong defensive performance that preserved playoff hopes for at least one more week.
