5 Key stats as NFC East race comes down to the wire in Week 17

Which NFC East team has the inside edge to the division crown? One stat for each club to help enlighten us

Heading into the final week of the season, three NFC East teams are still alive with a chance to win the division. Only the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles are out of the race. The winner of the Cowboys-Giants afternoon game will temporarily take hold of the division lead as they await the outcome of Washington’s Sunday Night Football game against Philadelphia. If Washington wins, they get the division crown for the first time since 2015. If they lose, whoever won the Dallas-New York game will take the title. And both games have a spread of less than 3, which means it’s basically a tossup as to who will win this division.

Perhaps there are some stats we can look at from their recent games that will help us predict who will come out on top. Let’s take a look at one stat you should know for each team as we head into a decisive Week 17.
