The NFC East has three teams in the divisional round of the playoffs with the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys all vying for a spot in the conference championship game.

The NFC East is the first division since the 2002 realignment to get three teams in the divisional round of the playoffs -- and the first division since 1997 to accomplish this feat.

The 1997 NFC Central had three teams reach the divisional round of the playoffs, but that was back when the league had six divisions of five teams.
