NFL: Power Rankings - Cowboys fall to 22

"No. 22, Previous rank: No. 20

Complete disaster. That's the only way to describe what happened on Sunday in Jerrah World, a last-second 37-34 win over the Giants that will be remembered for the awful ankle injury that ended 's season after a brilliant month. Enter , whose smart offseason signing looks genius now that Dallas will be forced to go with a backup QB the rest of the way. Dalton, 32, has shown in his years of starting experience that he can play at a high level when surrounded with the right parts. He's got that now in a way he never had in Cincinnati. Dalton has the ability to keep the Cowboys relevant, but there's no sugarcoating the ugly nature of Prescott's loss. For a team that entered 2020 with Super Bowl aspirations, it’s an absolute crusher."

Rest of the NFC Least: Eagels 23, Washington Football Club 30, Giants 31

Saints in top 10?

There’s a legitimate argument in saying the entire NFC East is in the bottom quarter of the league.

I’m thinking the East champ will be 7-9 or 8-8....which means a 10-6 team from another division will probably miss the playoffs.

I don’t think that will happen. They added an extra spot for the playoffs. So you’d likely have to have multiple 10-6 teams not win their rightful division

Who cares. We have been on the other end of that stick. I have no sympathy for them.

That's actually higher than what I thought we were.

Even with this low ranking post Dak, Dallas STILL plays 6 games versus teams ranked below them in the final 11 games.

This is why tanking isn't really an option.
DAL could very well be the 22nd best team, finish 8-8 and make the playoffs as the division winner.

Yep only one bye week

1 seed is a bye
2-7
3-6
4-5

The faster the drop, the higher the bounce.
