We’re looking at updated NFC East standings from the NFL’s toughest division ahead of the Week 4 matchups for the Commanders, Cowboys, #Eagles and Giants
The NFC East could be the toughest division in football, but after three teams suffered losses last week, Philadelphia is the only remaining undefeated team.
The Eagles have yet to play a complete game on offense, yet they’re still one of the NFL’s highest-scoring units, buoyed by a championship-caliber defense.
With all four teams preparing for Week 34 we’re looking at where the NFC East stands ahead of Thursday Night Football and the weekend’s games.
We’re looking at five reasons why the Philadelphia #Eagles should sign dynamic running back D’Andre Swift to a contract extension via @Thacover2NFL
NFL teams refuse to give running backs lucrative long-term contracts, but Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman must figure out how to convince D’Andre Swift to play for $5+ million per season.
Only three Super Bowl champions in the last 15 years had a 1,000-yard rusher in the regular season compared with 11 in the 15 seasons before, so it’ll be hard to convince the long-time GM that paying solid money to a running back in this climate makes sense.
Teams successfully use a running back-by-committee approach rotation like the Eagles last season.
Philadelphia will continue that trend in 2023 and beyond, and it’s on Howie Roseman to ensure that Swift sticks around with Kenneth Gainwell to give the Birds a dynamic and dominant duo at the position.
With preparation for a Week 4 matchup against Washington fast approaching, we’re looking at five reasons why the Eagles need to extend Swift sooner rather than later.

Among all QBs in league history, Hurts has the most rushing touchdowns (29) in his first 50 career games.
Today is Hurts’ 48th career NFL game. Making the TD total even more notable is that Hurts was a backup for the first 12 games of his career.
