Cowboys eye division title as NFC East faces turmoil in 2026
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are in a strong position to contend for the NFC East title in 2026 as rival teams confront significant challenges. Following two straight losing seasons, the Cowboys are motivated to improve under Dak Prescott, having finished 2025 with 4,552 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. The Philadelphia Eagles must replace A.J. Brown and struggled offensively last season. The Washington Commanders dealt with a poor defense and quarterback uncertainty, while the New York Giants are facing offensive questions. Dallas retained 10 starters from last year's prolific offense and is hopeful that their revamped defense will be sufficient to compete.
