NFC Least: 4Teams, 3 Games, 0 Wins

There are bad weekends in the NFL. And then there's whatever happened to the NFC East in Week 5.

All four teams in the division were in action. Not a single one managed to win.

That's particularly impressive considering two of them played each other.

Let's start with the Dallas Cowboys.

Dallas hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night, and everything seemed to be working in the Cowboys' favor.

Tampa Bay entered the game 0-4. The Buccaneers were also starting an undrafted rookie quarterback, Jalon Daniels, in place of the injured Baker Mayfield.

Surely the Cowboys could handle that, right?

Nope. Tampa Bay ran all over Dallas and earned its first victory of the year, 24-16.

Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving rushed for 165 yards, including a 72-yard run, as Tampa Bay piled up 241 yards on the ground.

Meanwhile, Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had caught 17 passes the previous week, finished with just two receptions for nine yards.

So that was Dallas.

Next up: Philadelphia.

The Eagles traveled all the way to London to face the Jacksonville Jaguars, and for a moment, it looked like they might actually escape with a victory.

Philadelphia took a 17-16 lead with just eight seconds remaining. All the Eagles had to do was kick off, make a tackle and head home.

Instead, Jacksonville returned the kickoff 53 yards, putting the Jaguars in position for one final play.

Kicker Cam Little drilled a 57-yard field goal as time expired.

Jacksonville 19, Philadelphia 17.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni later acknowledged that he should have handled the kickoff differently.

Which brings us to the New York Giants and Washington Commanders.

Now, you might think that when two teams from the same division play each other, somebody has to win.

Not necessarily.

The Giants and Commanders finished in a 27-27 tie, with an ending that left fans of both teams shaking their heads.

New York had the ball in overtime and was driving for a potential game-winning field goal.

But former Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo fumbled, giving Washington another opportunity.

And the Commanders nearly took advantage.

Washington moved into field-goal range with 12 seconds remaining, the ball at the Giants' 24-yard line and no timeouts.

All quarterback Jayden Daniels needed to do was throw the ball out of bounds, stop the clock and give his kicker an opportunity to win the game.

Instead, Daniels dropped back, couldn't find an open receiver and decided to run.

He was tackled inbounds.

The clock expired.

No field goal. No victory. Just a tie.

So let's review the NFC East's Week 5 performance.

Four teams. Three games. Zero wins.

For one weekend, the NFC East truly lived up to its old nickname: The NFC Least.
