The NFC East Division has had a rotating seat at the top and the Dallas Cowboys are likely to be ousted by the Washington Commanders or another rival this season.
Some might find it hard to remember given all that's gone on with the Washington Commanders in recent years, but the franchise last won the NFC East Division title in 2020. It was their ninth division title, and first in 2015.Since then, two different teams have won the NFC East, neither being the Commanders, as the Dallas Cowboys took the title in 2021, had it taken by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022, and regained the crown in 2023.
In fact, since 1970 the Cowboys have won 22 NFC East Division titles to lead the group that includes the Eagles, Washington, and the New York Giants, and previously also housed the St. Louis Cardinals now in Arizona.

"If Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons propel Dallas to another playoff run, no one will be surprised...But this is a team that's consistently struggled to get over the hump..."Despite that overall dominance, neither Dallas nor any other team has won back-to-back division championships in the NFC East since Philadelphia enjoyed a four-year run of dominance from 2001-2004.
"If Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons propel Dallas to another playoff run, no one will be surprised," Benjamin says. "But this is a team that's consistently struggled to get over the hump, a team that could end up applying added pressure to Prescott in a contract year, and also did precious little to actually improve the roster this offseason.
