The NFC EAST can have one of the most difficult schedules in the NFL this season, but that will not dissuade Dez Bryant to predict which division the Vince Lombardi trophy will take home in 2026.
Bryant, the legend of the Dallas Cowboys, is confident that a NFC East team will raise the trophy again when the Super Bowl LX reaches an end.
“That is the division to see. I think the Super Bowl will leave this year,” Bryant told Pak Gazette Digital in Fanatics Fest.

Earlier this year, the Philadelphia Eagles took home the trophy, defeating Kansas City bosses, 40-22, in a dominant performance in New Orleans.
The Eagles are expected to be the team to overcome once again from the NFC, much less the east division, since they return all their key offensive players, including Saquon Barkley, who received an extension in addition to the agreement he signed with Philadelphia this last low season.

But Bryant’s loyalties have not faltered from their former Dallas team, a group under a new leadership in chief coach Brian Schottenheimer.
After treating George Pickens with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bryant believes that Cowboys’s offensive can explode this year.
“It opens a lot,” Bryant said. “I don’t know how you are not successful with George Pickens and Ceedee Lamb in the field at the same time. It will cause many problems. Schotty had to enter there and discover the best scheme to score points. If we get points, we are fine.”
Bryant intends to go to Texas for the team’s training camp to see how Schottenheimer is making the group move before week 1. Believe that the former NFL coach, who is in his first year as a chief coach, is already establishing the correct culture.

“I love everything he has been doing lately,” Bryant said. “You have to give him his credit. He has the energy that flows in the building, the boys are happy to be there, and the boys go through a wall for him. Then, I am anxious to see what is happening.”
But there are also the Washington commanders, one of the most surprising teams in 2025 after the rookie Jayden Daniels took the team to his first NFC championship game in decades. They lost to the Eagles, but there is much to love about Washington, moving forward with Daniels to the helm.
Now, the final team of the division is one of Bryant’s old rivals. And to this day, he does not mind sending shots in his own way.
“The NFC East is crazy at this time. Look at the commanders, the eagles, [the Cowboys] now. Giants, they are still at the bottom, I’m sorry, “he said.” But [first-round pick Jaxson] Dart has the opportunity to be special. “

With the NFC EAST in front of the NFC North and AFC West divisions during the regular season, the giants, with Russell Wilson, are expected to lead the way in Quarterback, can have difficulty returning to the playoffs.
But Bryant believes that the other three teams in the division could be prepared to run. Of course, he hopes that the Cowboys return to the Super Bowl for the first time since the early 1990s, but it will be fun to see how this division shakes with the rest of the competition.
