Make that 20 years since the NFC East has witnessed a repeat champion.

The Eagles have clinched a division title thanks to their 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys, who last season donned the crown.

“It’s exciting,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said postgame of taking the division. “We always want to do special things. I think winning the division is a special thing. And then our goals are much bigger from here. I think we’ve got special guys. It was fun celebrating in there when you’re able to do this, and exciting. We’ll enjoy this and then we’ll get right back to work.”

Not since 2004, when the Eagles won the NFC East a fourth straight time, has a division winner among Philadelphia, Dallas, the Washington Commanders and New York Giants remained on top the following campaign.

That 2004 season marked a trip to the Super Bowl, as did the last time the Eagles reigned supreme over the NFC East in 2022.

Both of those division-winning trips to the postseason ended in Super Bowl heartbreak, something Sirianni and Co. have been hard at work to rectify this time around.
