At the end of week 7 Philadelphia emerged as the only one loss team left in the league. Elsewhere in the division, the Dallas Cowboys bounced back in a big way while New York and Washington took a step in the wrong direction.
Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles and Carson Wentz made all the right moves in what was surely a big division win over the Redskins. A key turnover and some aerial artistry from number 11 were the name of the game, as the Eagles defense was able to secure a timely interception and Wentz threw for 4 scores. The Skins run game only produced a measly 75 yards on the ground. The Eagles now sit at 6-1 a top not only the NFC East bit the entire league. They have soul possession of first place, thanks to an outstanding division and conference record of 3-0 and 5-0 respectively.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Eagles prepare before to take on the winless 49ers on Sunday. Philadelphia out match San Francisco in every facet of the game so its no surprise the Eagles are an early 12.5 point favorite.

Washington Redskins
The Redskins came up short once again to the Eagless for a week 7 loss on the road. Kurt Cousins was impressive, passing for 303 yards and 3 scores with just one interception. Chris Thompson however was not as big factor as he accumulated just 38 yards rushing. With the 34-24 loss the Skins drop to 2 games behind the Philadelphia Eagles and remain in a second place tie in the division with the cowboys.
A Look Ahead
The Redskins have a tough match up coming up Sunday afternoon against the rival Dallas. The Skins havent faced the Cowboys yet this season and are hoping to have success in their first match up. As it stands they are a 2.5 point underdog.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys came off a bye this week and did great. Running back Ezekiel Elliot‘s six game suspension has been put off yet again. With Zeke in the line up he was able to eat his way to over 200 all purpose yards and 3 scores.
A Look Ahead
Coming off a big win the Cowboys face a determined Redskins team. This should be a game Dallas should win, evident by the fact they are a 2.5 point road favorite.

New York Giants
After the G-Men finally got in the win column thanks to a dominant win in week 6, it was back to getting embarrassed in week 7. The Giants loss a lopsided affair to the Seatlle Seahawks, where they got nothing going offensively. Week 6 hero Orleans Darkwa only managed to picked up 35 yards on 9 carries. The rebuild may be on the horizion in the big apple.
A Look Ahead
Coming up next on the schedule for New York is the 5-2 Rams. The Rams are coming off another sparkling offensive display and look to make quick work of the Giants even on the road. However the line actually even at this point.
