No lead changes in any Washington games this year
Last week, much was made of the fact that the Chiefs haven’t lost a coin toss all year.

A quick word on wagering
I went to bed last night shortly after the Cowboys stunned the Eagles, making me look like an idiot for believing the Eagles would win easily against a beleaguered division rival.

NFC playoff picture: Rams running away with the NFC West
The Rams’ win over the Seahawks on Sunday just about wrapped up the NFC West. Although Los Angeles hasn’t actually clinched the division, the Rams now have a 4.5-game lead and the head-to-head tiebreaker. There’s no realistic path to the division title for the Seahawks. However, the Rams actually don’t control their own destiny for [more]
Dak Prescott: We have to use this as momentum
Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was in a mood to look to the future rather than the past after Sunday night’s win in Philadelphia.

Doug Pederson and the Eagles now search for answers
The table seemed to be set for the Eagles, who pulled to 4-4 at the bye, to win enough games in the second half to capture the NFC East championship.
