The Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders both suffered divisional losses in Week 1, making their Week 2 matchup crucial for the season.

The Cowboys defense was supposed to be better in 2026, but their first showing against the Giants on Sunday night was more of the same. Dallas struggled to stop the new-look Giants offense, drawing questions about whether it will be better this season.

Meanwhile, the Commanders fell just short against the Eagles, as they try to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season. Jayden Daniels got better over the course of the first game while Washington’s new defense had a solid showing against the defending division champions.

This NFC East battle is key, with the winner getting a much-needed win while the loser drops to 0-2 early in the season.
