The defending champs still have arguably the best roster in football, even with some offseason departures (DE Josh Sweat, DT Milton Williams, CB Isaiah Rodgers, etc.) that have impacted last season's No. 1 defense. The offense is breaking in a new playcaller in Kevin Patullo, and the group has underperformed relative to expectations and payroll. But the passing game showed some serious signs of life against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 and confidence is beginning to build.

The New York Giants finally won an NFC East game for the first time since the 2023 season with a 34-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium. Don't tell Dart that the Giants had lost eight straight in the division. He said beforehand that these contests hold a "little more weight." Still, this was his first start against an NFC East opponent, even if it was the defending Super Bowl champs. He hardly looked intimidated.

The NFC East teams have added notable disruptors to their defensive front-7s, including key draft picks and strategic signings that enhance their defenses.
