Entering Week 3, the Eagles have the best odds of making the playoffs in the division, followed by the Cowboys and Redskins, according to ESPN's FPI. All three teams are 1-1. The 0-2 Giants, meanwhile, don't have much of a chance at the moment.

Jerry Jones did not single out Ezekiel Elliott for his effort on tracking down two interceptions against Denver the way Jason Garrett did. "I think you can point to Zeke but you to look at the general effort by most of the people on the field," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.
Shane Buechele or Sam Ehlinger: Texas' QB dilemma continues
Shane Buechele will work with the first team, but Sam Ehlinger's strong second half versus USC kept him in the mix to be the starter, Tom Herman said.
Welcome to the era of the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad 30-home-run hitter
Rougned Odor might not be an awful baseball player, but he has been historically awful this year. The thing is, he's most definitely not alone. More sluggers than ever before are hitting home runs -- and doing almost nothing else.
What we learned (and didn't) in Week 2: Separating reality from mirage
The Cowboys are in trouble. Or are they? Kareem Hunt will be the best of the rookie running backs. Or will it be someone else? We're examining early-season storylines for legitimacy and sustainability in Week 2's lessons.
Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott facing different kind of adversity in Week 3
Since they burst onto the scene last season, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott haven't faced anything like the scrutiny they will this week.

Zeke should be embarrassed his effort is being questioned (1:37)
College football's best quarterbacks in Week 3
Kenny Hill threw for four touchdowns in the Frogs' 56-36 win over SMU. Three of those scoring passes came in the final 7 1/2 minutes of the first half, including a successful Hail Mary in the closing seconds that stunned the Mustangs.
Garrett says he will address Elliott's effort (0:22)
Play-action ain't the same in Dallas
After eviscerating teams when using run fakes last season, Dak Prescott has been exceedingly ineffective on such plays through two games. With Dallas' run game struggling on Sunday, only three of Prescott's attempts came out of play-action, with all three falling incomplete.
Garrett, Zeke to discuss RB's lack of effort Sun.
Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett pointed to two plays on Sunday in which running back Ezekiel Elliott's effort appeared diminished and said he will address his concerns with the player.

Can TCU slow down Rudolph, Oklahoma State? (0:35)
Rudolph takes home Big 12 honor
Mason Rudolph led Oklahoma State to touchdowns on all seven drives of the first half against Pitt. While Texas fell just short of the upset over USC, DeShon Elliott still picked off Sam Darnold twice. Ja'Deion High's blocked punt gave Texas Tech a short field for a TD in its win over Arizona State.

Defensive end Damontre Moore is eligible to rejoin the Cowboys today after serving his two-game suspension for violating the substance-abuse policy. The Cowboys get a one-day roster exemption. They will need to release a player to fit Moore on the 53-man roster on Tuesday.
Rare rough day for Dak
Sunday was the Cowboys' biggest loss since Week 10 of 2013, let alone in the Dak Prescott era. It was also Prescott's first regular-season loss to a non-divisional opponent (10-0 entering the week), and it featured the QB's first career pick-six. (ESPN Stats & Info)
