Every Monday and Friday, theScore's NFL editors will bring you a roundup of everything you need to know from around the division with the NFC East Notebook.

Dallas Cowboys

Romo leads the comeback. With the Cowboys trailing the Giants late Sunday night, Tony Romo calmly led the offense on yet another game-winning drive, giving the team its eighth victory of the season.

Players buying in under Garrett. After years of questions surrounding Jason Garrett's job status, it appears Cowboys players have completely bought in to their head coach's message, and it's paying off in a big way.

Defense making plays when it counts. While the Cowboys' defense may give up its fair share of yardage, the unit continues to make big plays when they're needed most.

Philadelphia Eagles

McCoy gets back on track. LeSean McCoy put together one of his best performances of the season in Sunday's win over the Titans, getting the Eagles' ground game back to where it needs to be down the stretch.

Sanchez struggling with turnovers. Although the Eagles were able to come away with the win, quarterback Mark Sanchez once again struggled with turnovers, throwing another two interceptions against the Titans.

Fans look ahead to Thanksgiving showdown. With their team holding a comfortable lead over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Eagles fans turned their attention to Thursday's highly anticipated Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Cowboys, chanting "We want Dallas!" 

New York Giants

Manning returns to form. Despite the loss, quarterback Eli Manning returned to the efficient level of play that carried the Giants' offense to success early in the season.

Beckham's unbelievable catch. Rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s leaping one-handed grab generated the appropriate reaction throughout the football world, with many calling it the best catch they've ever seen.

Pass rush disappears. The Giants' pass rush was unable to make an impact when needed most, allowing the Cowboys to stage a relatively easy game-winning drive.

Washington Redskins

Is RG3's time with Redskins running out? With Robert Griffin III continuing to struggle in Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Post's Mike Jones suggests the quarterback's time with the team is already running out.

Defense comes up big. Despite the loss, the Redskins' defense put together one of its most complete performances of the year, overcoming a number of injuries to limit the 49ers' offense throughout the day.

Morris's big day. Going up against a 49ers defense that has been among the league's best in defending the run, Alfred Morris led the Redskins' ground game to one of its best performances of the season.
