The makeup of the NFC East can be laid at the doorstep of the great Texas Schramm - longtime GM and defacto owner of The Dallas Cowboys.

 

He was BFF with Comissioner Pete Rozelle and when the merger with the AFL was being finalized they placed Dallas in the East - as opposed to the more geographically logical West - so that Cowboys would be primary television opponent of Eastern Time Zone big markets New York, Washington and Philly.

 

The lowly Falcons had no such influence and were shuffled into the West due to the Central being locked up with very logical GB, MIN, DET and CHI
