The NFC East refers to the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference of the National Football League. It currently has four members: Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, New York Giants, and Philadelphia Eagles. The Arizona Cardinals were a former member of the division until the Division Realignment of 2002.
