Philadelphia walked all over the New Orleans Saints last weekend at Lincoln Financial Field. As they look to produce a sequel in Week 6, Philadelphia media is wondering has head coach Chip Kelly finally gotten in his zone?

The balance of physicality brought by HB De'Marco Murray, meshed with the finesse of HB Darren Sproles and WR Josh Huff has Philadelphia looking like a reckoning force out in the NFC. With a 2-3 start to the 2015 Regular Season behind them now, they come into tonight optimistic about their chances of winning the division.

Three straight wins for the New York Giants, has a 0-2 start to 2015 fleeing fast from the conscious of players on the NFC East's best team. Besides WR Odell Beckham Jr.'s hair, it's safe to say that the Giants have flew under the radar. They finished off the San Francisco 49ers with a winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter of Sunday Night Football but have yet to hit the headlines as one of the more dangerous teams in the NFC. They are top ten in the league in points and pass yards, producing impressive performances in Buffalo in Week 4 and Washington in Week 3. There is a head scratcher in the midst of all this madness though. Not a single NFC East team  has a winning percentage above .500 against division opponents. Well whether the division is the prettiest or not, certainly the Giants take pride in knowing they won two Super Bowl's in the last decade with the same quarterback that they currently have under center : Eli Manning. The Giants want the NFC East honors just as much as their opponents tonight. In order to get it they'll need a solid offensive output against a division rival.
