Between Dallas Cowboys wunderkinds Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott, New York Giants receiver Sterling Shepard and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, the NFC East might be home to the richest crop of rookies in the NFL.

And two of them are stoking the fire in what's shaping up to be an enticing race for the division title.

Shepard, who is tied for the most touchdown receptions for a rookie with five, posted a seemingly innocuous Instagram post after New York's fifth straight win on Sunday.

Elliott, the NFL's leading rusher, had something to say about Shepard's use of "Dem Boyz."

New York handed Dallas its only loss in the season opener and -- for a growing number of reasons -- the rematch in three weeks is shaping up to be a classic.
