Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman Aikman, who won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys, said that Dallas is “the best team” in the NFC East.
“I will say this: I have said it throughout the year; I do feel that the Cowboys are the best team in the division,” Aikman said. “And some would say, ‘Ok well who cares? What does that necessarily mean?’ Well, what I think it means is that they could go into the postseason, and they are capable.”
Aikman, who made an appearance on 105.3 the Fan on Wednesday morning, talked about the Cowboys’ three-game winning streak, and how they’ve suddenly put themselves in a position to steal the division crown away from the Washington Football Team.

“We know what they are on the offensive side of the ball, and the defense is playing better,” Aikman said. “They’re at least getting the takeaways and doing some of the things that they’ve had a hard time doing the last couple of years. And this team is capable, when they’re playing well, I think they’re capable of giving anybody a run.”

During Week 5, Dallas came away with a 37-34 win over the Giants. Running back Ezekiel Elliott had 19 carries for 91 yards and two scores, and rookie wideout CeeDee Lamb had eight receptions for 124 yards for the Cowboys.
