Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

Washington lost to the Eagles the first time because they decided against going for 2 points after their last TD. Then they lost to the Giants 7-14. A week later they would drop 31 points on the Eagles. In both of those games they had chances to win it and blew it. Then they just lost to the Seahawks (after an absolutely insane call by the refs to eject a player, among other questionable calls) by 3 points.

With a little bit of luck they could be 8-2 leading the division.

But the NFC East as a whole is weird this year. The Giants over performed last year and have completely fallen apart this year. The Eagles are very lucky that they are 8-1 because they are a lot more suspect than they should be with that record. And we all know that Dallas is going to find some way to blow it this year. So yeah, if things go slightly differently we would all be talking about how the Sam Howell led Commanders are contenders.
