The division has gone 0-6-2 since Week 5, and a Commanders loss on Monday night sealed the dubious streak.
The NFC East just did something no division has done since the merger: go completely winless across two straight weeks. Every team in the division came up short on Sunday, and the Commanders had a Monday night game that could have snapped the skid. They did not.
Instead, the loss made the slide official. The division is now 0-6-2 since Week 5, a stretch bad enough to earn its own footnote in NFL history, and not the kind any of these four franchises wanted.
It is a rough look for a division that usually gets more attention than most, between big markets, big names and a national rivalry or two. Instead the storyline has become about collective futility rather than any one team's success.
No single result explains the run. It is the accumulation of losses from Dallas, Philadelphia, New York and Washington stacking up in the same stretch that has made this notable. For now, the NFC East owns a distinction nobody wants, and the only question left is how much longer the drought stretches before someone in the division finally wins a game.
