The Prototype NFL Division

The NFC East is that division. After the Eagles defeated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl 57 rematch to go 9–1 on the year one has to ask this question about Head Coach Nick Sirianni. How does he do it? Is he that good or getting help?

Is he really that MAD SCIENTIST the media makes him out to be, or is he simply getting help from within? Let’s examine the numbers that really matter. Earlier this season I shared with you each NFL team faces 4 opponents each week. This set the table for today’s offering.

Taking a deeper dive into this concept I looked to Statmuse to help make it make sense. For the record, I will never BLAME the NFL referees for a loss as a Cowboys fan. I will hold that on the shoulders of our Head Coach in the ‘DISCIPLINE” department. How? By the penalty numbers.
