The weekend NFL schedule is all finished up after the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Redskins on Sunday night football and now the division standings are set heading into Week 7, as the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers are basically locked into their positions no matter who wins on Monday night football.
The NFC East is still the worst division in football, but now there are two teams tied at the top in the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles with 3-3 records. The Eagles defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday while the Cowboys got past the Redskins and now Dallas is 3-1 at home through their first six games. while the Eagles improved to an impressive 3-1 on the road this season. Both teams are 2-0 within the division and loss for the Redskins dropped them to 0-2 within the NFC East and to 1-4 overall, just ahead of the still winless New York Giants at 0-6 after they lost to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. The NFC East is currently the only division in football with a .500 team leading the division.
The NFC North has two teams tied as well with the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions sitting at 4-2 and they are just ahead of the Green Bay Packers at 3-2 after they defeated the Baltimore Ravens. The Vikings fell to 1-4 with their tough loss to the Carolina Panthers and the Lions have the edge in the division race with a 2-1 record already. The Packers have won their only division game and are 2-0 at home, while the Bears are 3-1 at home this season and 1-1 in the division.
The NFC South is looking like it's all New Orleans Saints despite the team losing on Sunday to the New England Patriots in a dramatic comeback win and they still have a nice edge over the Panthers at 2-3. The Falcons had a bye and are 1-4 on the season, while the Buccaneers remained winless after dropping their game against the Eagles. The Seahawks hung on to win and the 49ers pulled through so Seattle is at 5-1 in the NFC West and San Francisco is 4-2 on the year in second place. The division is nearly the exact opposite of the East, as all teams are .500 or above with the Cardinals and Rams at 3-3.
The Giants and the Buccaneers are the two winless teams in the conference and now the Redskins and Giants have combined for just one win in 11 games after both teams came into the season with playoff expectations. The Saints still have the inside edge in the conference, but they have to be stunned by their loss to the Patriots.
