NFC East preview: Romo's injury leaves division yet again preparing for parity

In 2004, the Eagles claimed their fourth straight NFC East title. Since that stretch of dominance, no team has repeated as division champion. The last 11 years have essentially been a Choose Your Own Adventure of division winners: Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins.

The lack of any consistent power makes the East fun to watch, but maddening to try to predict. Last year, many expected the Cowboys to build on their 12–4 2014 season, but instead, they lost Tony Romo to injury and went 4–12, making way for the surprising Redskins to seize the division from yet another below-average Giants team and the underachieving Eagles squad that cost Chip Kelly his job.
