NFL schedule 2021: Biggest game for all 32 teams
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys – At Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The healthy return of Dak Prescott and some key defensive improvements should make the Cowboys the favorites to win the NFC East. There is a question of how well Dallas can fare against the conference’s elite teams, making their trip to Tampa to take on the defending champs an important benchmark for the Cowboys to meet.
New York Giants – Vs. Dallas Cowboys
An offseason spending spree headlined by the addition of Kenny Golladay has the Giants thinking playoffs for the first time since 2016. New York’s easiest path to the postseason is by winning the division, which will need to include at least one win over the Cowboys in 2021.
Philadelphia Eagles – Vs. New York Giants
There has been a lot of turnover in Philadelphia this offseason with Doug Pederson getting fired and Carson Wentz getting traded. One constant for the Eagles over the years has been success against the Giants and if Philadelphia can find a way to keep that run going it could be a sign that they could surprise in the NFC East.
Washington Football Team – Vs. Dallas Cowboys
The biggest key to Washington’s surprise NFC East title in 2020 was a season sweep against the Cowboys. Both of those games came when Dallas didn’t have Prescott, however, making it imperative for the Football Team to show they can beat the Cowboys when their star quarterback is on the field.
