Hawk Talk: NFC East, Qualifying Offers, Craig Kimbrel

The Giants lost to the Patriots in controversial fashion, but may have shown that they are true contenders. The Eagles dropped an embarrassing one to the Dolphins. Romo is set to return for the Cowboys this weekend. Nick and Matt analyze what this means for each team and break down the competitive state of the NFC East.
