After dismantling the Philadelphia Eagles this past Monday night, the Dallas Cowboys have officially put the league on notice and proven themselves as legit title contenders. With Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot back at full strength, the Cowboys offense is looking better than ever and with these two superstars leading the way, this has opened up a ton of opportunities for the rest of their offense to shine.

Now that they've gotten big contributions from CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, Dalton Schultz, and Tony Pollard over the past couple of weeks, the Cowboys have become a match-up nightmare for opposing defenses on a weekly basis. With all this in the fold for Dallas, let's now take a look at two major takeaways from their dominant victory over the Eagles on Monday Night.

The Cowboys are the new team-to-beat in the NFC East 

Currently boasting a ton of depth on both sides of the ball, it seems as if the NFC East is theirs to lose. Especially after the big statement they made on Monday night with a lopsided win against their division rivals. With a ton of production from their star-studded offense and a deep and talented defense at the helm, the Cowboys have everything they need to win the NFC East crown this year.

Now that Washington has fallen to 1-2 and the Eagles and Giants have taken a tumble, Dallas looks primed to take the division title and make a deep playoff run. If ever there were ever a chance for the Cowboys to take this division by storm and live up to their potential as a legit contender, then that time would be here and now.

Coming off two close finishes against the Bucs and Chargers, the Cowboys looked absolutely unstoppable against the Eagles in Week 3. After their big win against Philly last night, they showed that they're the real deal and have all the skill and tenacity to compete for a championship. This may be a bit premature, but considering how close they were to knock off the Super Bowl champs in Week 1, the Cowboys have proven they can hold their own against the league's best teams and come away with some big wins when the stakes are high.

With all the drama from last season well behind them, the Cowboys are laser-focused and ready to take things up a notch this year with a deep playoff run that they hope will result in a Super Bowl title. Given all this organization has gone through and the talent they possess, it's safe to say that this Cowboys team is built to compete for titles.

So at this point, the Cowboys have definitely transitioned to championship or bust mode and will look to keep up this dominant level of play all year long while fighting to stay atop the NFC East and gain home-field advantage in the postseason. Now that they're back at full strength, the Cowboys have a lot going for them and the opportunities for this team are limitless.
