The battle for the NFC East Division title is heating up as we approach the last 5 weeks of the regular NFL season. Despite suffering 5 consecutive losses at the start of their campaign, the New York Giants sit at the top of the NFC East Division table with a 4-7 record.

They are followed by the Washington Football Team in the second spot with the same record. They are followed by Philadelphia Eagles at the 3rd spot. Finally, the Dallas Cowboys come in at number 4 on the list with a 3-8 record at the end of Week 12.

Washington Football Team -Dallas Cowboys sets 2020 viewership record

Critics and fans on social media are pretty vocal regarding their views on the NFC East Division. They are regarded as the ‘laughingstock’ of the NFL due to the sub-par displays of all 4 teams in the last couple of years. However, this year, they’ve taken it to a whole new level.

Despite their overall average display in the league, their viewership record from Thanksgiving Weekend is the best of the season. The Washington-Dallas clash from last Thursday reportedly amassed a total of 30.3 million viewers. This was the biggest live event viewership since the Super Bowl LIV between Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.
