The Cowboys lost a big game Monday night, and with that defeat, the 2018 NFC East looks like a two-horse race between the Redskins and the Eagles. 

Unfortunately for Washington fans, the two teams might be going in different directions. The Redskins lost three offensive starters in their loss to Atlanta last Sunday, while the Eagles got to rest on their bye week. 

Going forward? Let's dig in:

Washington Redskins (5-3, 2-0)

It's been a bad few days in Washington. The Redskins got drubbed by the Falcons, at home, and then three offensive starters landed on the injured reserve after the game. Some in Washington believe the season is over, but that notion seems premature. The Redskins still have one of the best defenses in the NFL and might be best suited for the offenses in the division. If Alex Smith and Jay Gruden do figure out a way to move the football, the defense still looks fearsome.  

Philadelphia Eagles (4-4, 1-0)

The Eagles enjoyed a bye week and got to watch Dallas and Washington lose in the division. The truth in Philadelphia appears to be that if the Eagles can get their offense right, they have a good chance to defend their division title. That means get new wide receiver Golden Tate up to speed, and get Carson Wentz back to his 2017 MVP-level of play. Keep in mind, half of the Eagles remaining eight games will be NFC East play, including two in December against the Redskins. Philly still must play the Saints and the Rams too. 

Dallas Cowboys (3-5, 1-1)

Plenty of informed Cowboys fans watched their team lose, at home, to the Titans on Monday night and determined their playoff hopes were shot. It wasn't about the defense, as that group remains talented, it was about the offense. Dak Prescott continues to underwhelm, even with new target Amari Cooper wearing the star. Jerry Jones already came out and said there would not be an in-season coaching change, so that means anything could happen in Big D. 

New York Giants (1-7, 0-3)

The Redskins and Eagles will battle it out for the division, and the Cowboys want to be a part of that too. It might not happen for Dallas, but it certainly won't happen for the Giants. The biggest story this week in New York has been the traffic arrest of rookie QB Kyle Lauletta. The Giants won three games last season, and honestly, the hope might be to double that up for the Giants this year. Six games might not be doable, but knowing the NFC East, the Giants could certainly play the role of spoiler late in the year.

Sympathetic pregnancy is real. Just ask NBA All-Star Bradley Beal

The Washington Redskins (3-9) take a two-game winning streak to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers (9-3).

The game will serve as a reunion for a couple of former Redskins. First-year Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was the Redskins' quarterbacks coach from 2010-2013, and linebacker Preston Smith spent the first four seasons of his career in Washington before joining Green Bay this year.

LaFleur has led the Packers to a 9-3 record, including a 31-13 rout of the New York Giants last week, and Smith leads one of the league's top defenses in sacks. The Redskins took down the underperforming Carolina Panthers 29-21 last week thanks to a dominant performance from Derrius Guice.

The Packers lead the all-time series 20-16-1, however, the Redskins have won the last two matchups, both of which were played at home. Washington's last win in Green Bay came in October 1988.

Can you imagine Antonio Brown catching footballs from Dwayne Haskins in a Redskins uniform? Apparently Haskins can.

Antonio Brown has not suited up for an NFL game since Week 2 of the season. Yet, Washington Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins is all on-board on giving the WR a chance in D.C.

On Friday, Brown posted on Instagram an apology for his actions for anyone that he offended. He admitted to not handling the situations throughout 2019 in the best way possible and called his own actions inexcusable. He also said he is looking to get back to the NFL and mending relationships with the organizations involved. 

View this post on Instagram

First and foremost, I’d like to apologize to my family, friends and anyone who I offended. I never once meant to make anyone feel like I wasn’t thankful and appreciative of the opportunity that I was afforded to play the game I love. I’ve worked hard over the years to earn a chance to compete in the greatest game on earth. Over the years I was met with challenges and I can honestly say I didn’t handle those challenges in the manner that I should have. Over the past few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to think about everything that’s transpired and I am deeply sorry to all who I’ve offended. While my behavior was inexcusable, sometimes when people are coming at you with false information and allegations, we handle ourselves in ways that we sometimes regret. I do take full responsibility for my actions and I’m working everyday to repair what I broke. I do know that if I’m ever given the opportunity to play the game that I love, I’m going to work extremely hard to show the world how much I appreciate another chance. To the organizations that I offended, I offer my sincere apology to you and my hope is that you forgive me and help me move on from this minor setback. I look forward to competing and helping a team reach their goals.

Haskins replied to the post "Letssss gooo bro. AB to DC" with the looking eyes emoji. During the offseason, the pair of them teamed up for a workout before Haskins even made it to training camp.

The last year of AB's career has been marred in controversy. He basically stiff-armed his way into a trade out of Pittsburgh, had helmet and feet issues in Oakland, and his stint with the Patriots was cut short due to reports of sexual assault.

Brown is still one of the top talents in the NFL despite not playing for the majority of the season. Wide receiver is still clearly a need for Washington. Don't necessarily expect the Redskins to come calling though after Haskins' endorsement. 

The team has had over 10 weeks to pursue the four-time All-Pro. There have been no reports out of Ashburn in that time.
