Final NFC East standings after Eagles win over Giants, Cowboys loss to Commanders

The NFC East might’ve been the most improved division in the NFL during the 2022 campaign and with three playoff teams, it was certainly the toughest division.

The Philadelphia Eagles were the top team in the NFC from start to finish on their way to a 14-3 record, an NFC East crown, and the No. 1 overall seed in the conference.

Dallas was able to survive Dak Prescott’s thumb injury and looked like a defensive juggernaut early on before stumbling down the stretch.

With postseason play set to begin, here are the final NFC East standings.
