The Philadelphia Eagles (85 overall) are the top-rated NFC East team in Madden NFL 15, followed by the Dallas Cowboys (81), the New York Giants (76), and the Washington Redskins (75).

Here's what EA Sports had to say about the Eagles:

With Chip Kelly at the helm for his second year, the Eagles look to improve on last year's 10-6 record and NFC East title. The Eagles lost deep threat and special teams weapon Desean Jackson to the division rival Redskins, but did add Darren Sproles. Combined with the 97 OVR Lesean McCoy, Sproles will be a nice addition to the high-octane Kelly offense. Quarterback Nick Foles is coming off a stellar 2013 season, and will look to wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper in the passing game.

On the defensive side, the Eagles are reliant on veteran linebacker Trent Cole, who will be a monster with the new Madden NFL 15 defensive line mechanics with his 97 Finesse Move (FMV) rating. The Eagles also have 3 CBs with an 80+ OVR.
