Ironic division twist

All the talk about the NFC East being football's toughest division turns out to be... exactly on the nose after week 4.  With the Cowboys and Eagles both losing, the East no longer holds three of the top five teams in the newly released ESPN Power Rankings.  However, with the Cowboys' loss coming at the hands of the Redskins, the division still proves to be a powerhouse.  Now the Giants, Cowboys, Redskins, and Eagles are ranked 1, 3, 6, and 9, respectively, and have their entire division among the top ten teams in the NFL. It's a little bit frustrating to know that one of these teams will not make the playoffs and still possibly be one of the best teams in the league.
