Cowboys keep pace with Commanders, move into second in NFC East

For a few minutes on Monday morning, it looked like the Washington Commanders would expand their lead in the NFC East to 1.5 games.

But an amazing final drive by Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys put that on hold. Dallas’ 20-17 win on Sunday Night Football, which became Monday morning football, kept the Cowboys just one game back.

It’s hard to say a game played just five weeks into the season was the key victory. But if Dallas does win the division, or even just makes the playoffs, this week five win just might fall into that category.

The Eagles slipped back into third place, a half-game back of Dallas and only a half-game ahead of the suddenly competitive Giants.

Buckle up folks, the NFC East is going to be a wild ride.
