The division had an action-packed Sunday at noon. All the teams in the NFC East had their commitments simultaneously. The calmest was Dallas with its 36-28 victory. However, there would be three franchises that would celebrate despite the fact that at one point it seemed that two would fall. Extra time together with a score in the decisive minute gave excitement to their results.
Washington Football Team (2-2)
The Football Team had a game that on paper they had to win. Although the Falcons came from beating the Giants, their present is that of a team with no clear direction. That didn’t look great though because they traded touchdowns all afternoon. In the fourth quarter Atlanta hit early to go 30-22.
That difference kept her close to the end, but it wasn’t enough. Washington scored through wide receiver Terry McLaurin and running back JD McKissic would give him the victory with a 30-yard touchdown through the air with less than a minute left on the clock. With that 34-30 they avoided falling far behind the Cowboys so early.
In week 5 they will host the Saints.
Philadelphia Eagles (1-3)
The only one in the NFC East who had started the season winning quickly came back to reality. The Eagles were crushed by Dallas last Monday Night Football and something similar would happen this time. The calendar marked that they had to face the Chiefs, so a loss was to be expected.
The defense gave up many points again to the explosiveness of the Kansas City attack. The final score was 42-30 in a duel that was quite suspenseful. Philadelphia would only break in the decisive stretch to accumulate its third consecutive fall. Although it was effective in attack, the main reason was that it faced one of the worst units so far.
The Eagles are due to visit the Panthers next week.
New York Giants (1-3)
The Giants lost their first three games of the season. With the exception of the game against the Broncos, they were also very tight. Two field goals in the second final of each game decided his fate against the Football Team and the Falcons. This time they had the luck that they lacked before as they were the ones who achieved equality with a field goal.
Starting the fourth period, the Saints scored to lead 21-10. That increased the chances that New York would continue without winning. Although the offense reacted in time with a reception from Saquon Barkley of 54 yards. The runner would be in charge of sentencing the duel with a TD on the ground in overtime.
The challenge ahead for the Giants is the Cowboys on the road.
