The Eagles remain undefeated coming out of Week 8 and were able to open up a little breathing room in the NFC East. Philadelphia had no trouble with their in-state rivals, beating the Steelers 35-13. Jalen Hurts is on fire and finished the game with four touchdown passes, three of which went to A.J. Brown. The Eagles 7-0 start matches the best start in franchise history.
Philly benefited as the Giants came back to earth with the offense struggling in Seattle during a 27-13 loss. Daniel Jones only managed 176 yards while Saquon Barkley was held to 53 yards and a touchdown. The Giants dropped into third place because the Cowboys thumped the Bears. Dallas has the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win in New York.
At the bottom of the division, the Commanders got a road win against the Colts, which keeps them in the thick of the wild card chase. Washington isn't playing at the level of Philadelphia or Dallas, but they're hanging around.
