Franchise Facts- NFC-East
This article looks at the histories of the franchises in the SFL's NFC East.
Division Title
2002- Giants
2003- Football Team
2004- Football Team
2005- Giants
2006- Football Team
2007- Cowboys
2008- Eagles
The NFC East is one division where all four teams have at least one division title. The Eagles were the final team to do so in 2008. The last two times the Football Team have won the division they have gone on to win the Super Bowl. So the moral of the story there is don’t let the Football Team win the division if you want to have a chance at the big prize.
Playoff Records
Cowboys- 0-1
Eagles- 0-1
Football Team- 10-4
Giants- 0-2
The NFC East has had some very good years as a division but with the exception of the Football Tea, they’ve not been able to translate that into post-season success yet. I have a feeling that could change in the future. The Football Team’s 10-4 post-season record is absolutely incredible, even more so when you consider they have lost their last two post-season games to the Saints and Rams.
Regular Season Records
Cowboys- 46-66 (2 winning seasons)
Eagles- 53-58-1 (3 winning seasons)
Football Team- 71-41 (6 winning seasons)
Giants- 52-60 (3 winning seasons)
The Football Team, just like the Jets, have 6 winning seasons and the seventh season was a .500 season. Pretty impressive stuff from that organization. The Eagles have won 6 games per season in four of their seven seasons. Despite the relative dominance by the Football Team within the division, the Cowboys and the Football Team are in a tie for the most regular season wins with 12. And the Football Team has only achieved that one time, despite their 71-41 regular season record.
SFL Individual Records
Champ Bailey, former Football Team star, is tied for the record for most fumble return yards in a game with 91 against the Cowboys in week 2 of the 2005 season.
Terry Pierce, formerly of the Football Team, is the only player in post-season history to force two fumbles in a game. He did that against the Cowboys in 2007.
Fred Smoot, formerly of the Football Team, holds the record for most interception return yards in one post-season game with 124. He did that against the Panthers in 2006.
Chris Samuels of the Football Team is tied with Matt Light and Tre’ Johnson for the most pancakes recorded in a post-season game with 13. He did that against the Packers in 2007.
Jeremy Shockey of the Giants holds the post-season record for most receptions with 12. He accomplished that in 2005 against the Cardinals.
Eric Moulds, formerly of the Football Team, is tied with Reggie Wayne for the most TD receptions in a season with 19. Moulds accomplished that in the 2004 season.
