The NFC East was showcased in two of the final three games of the 2024 NFL season.

The Philadelphia Eagles topped the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship before eventually defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

The Eagles had a veteran team with an incredible defense that tormented Patrick Mahomes all night on their way to a win. The Commanders got very close to making the Super Bowl for the first time in over 30 years with a rookie quarterback in Jayden Daniels. 

With Philadelphia and Washington being the talk of the NFL, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott expressed optimism on Tuesday about his team’s chances of making their mark.

"I feel like we've competed with the Eagles and beat them for the most part when we've played them," he told reporters at an event for the upcoming Children’s Cancer Fund gala, via ESPN. "I don't want to say, 'Check the record,' when the other guy is holding the trophy, right? So credit to them. They've earned it, and they deserve it by all means. But, yeah, [we're] very close."

Dallas did suffer a rash of injuries during the 2024 season that took them from a 12-5 playoff team to a fledgling 7-10 team.

"Especially even watching the NFC Championship and those two teams -- teams that we battle against each and every year a couple of times," he added. "As I said, [I] feel confident that we've gotten the better part each and every time. But just seeing such a dominating fashion, credit to them. It's our turn, and it's on us."

The Eagles routed the Cowboys in both of their matchups in 2024. Prescott did not play in either game as his season ended in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Dallas had a wild win over Washington in Week 12 but lost in the season finale against them.

The Cowboys will enter the 2025 season with new head coach Brian Schottenheimer at the helm and a few question marks as star players like Micah Parsons in trade rumors.

Former Cowboys star Dez Bryant told Fox News Digital he did not expect Dallas to be back in the fold anytime soon.

"I don't expect the 'Boys to be good for the next couple years. You need good role players, you need more star players, especially in today's NFL. Teams are loaded. You can't have just one receiver. You got teams with three ones, two ones. The Cowboys only got one one. And the rest might be threes. I don't see us getting better." he said.

"It's not anything personal. It's just the writing on the wall."

Burglaries involving athletes continue to rage on, and just the day before Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s home was broken into, the fianceé of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had things stolen from her car. 

Dallas-based WFAA obtained a Dallas Police Department report, which stated Sarah Ramos had close to $40,000 worth of items stolen from her vehicle. 

The incident occurred this past Thursday, when she admitted she "rushed inside" for a Pilates class due to inclement weather, leading her to forget to lock her car door.

After the class, Ramos returned to her vehicle to find several pieces of property taken, and she told police that she "was notified that her credit cards were being used at [another] location."

The items that were stolen the day after Christmas include designer wallets and handbags from Chanel, YSL, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada, per WFAA. Computer software and cash were also stolen. 

There have been recent reports of burglaries involving athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce with both of their homes burglarized last month.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow experienced the same thing, and Doncic had his home broken into on Friday through his back master bedroom, per WFAA. A necklace worth $4,000, earrings worth $14,000 and four rings worth $5,000 were reported stolen.

For the NFL, they quickly issued a league-wide memo warning of burglaries that were believed to be linked to an "organized" group. 

In the memo, obtained by the Associated Press, the league issued a security alert to teams and the NFL Players Association, warning that pro athletes in different sports were becoming "increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups."

At the time of the memo, NFL Network reported the FBI was investigating the crime spree, which they believed was "tied to a South American crime syndicate."

Law enforcement officials say the suspects conduct extensive surveillance on their targets’ homes and have even posed as groundskeepers or joggers. Some have even attempted home deliveries. 

The memo urged players to take special precautions, including installing home security systems. They were also encouraged not to post live updates of their comings and goings on social media or showcasing their expensive items online. 

Prescott’s engagement to Ramos was revealed in October, one month before he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury against the Atlanta Falcons. 

The two share a daughter together, Margaret Jane Rose Prescott.
