One of the best divisions in the league for many years (arguably the best in the early 1990s), the NFC East has been hurting in recent seasons, with all the teams so mediocre that they all had opportunities to vie for the division title. This year marks the return of some semblance of order to the division, with Philadelphia and New York emerging as the dominant teams.

Home to some great, long-standing, divisional rivalries, such as "Dallas Cowboys vs. Everyone Else in the NFC East".
