We rank each of the NFL divisions from worst to the best.

We are in the midst of the NFL playoff race, but while the rest of the football world is focused on where individual teams stack up with an eye on the chase toward the postseason, we are monitoring the league’s eight divisions. As you know by now, there is one division drawing the ire of the rest of the league, but aside from that, there are also battles in the middle and at the top, and bragging rights are up for grabs.

Last week’s rankings give us some context as to where things stood just seven days ago, but as usual, there is some upheaval this week, and that shouldn’t be a surprise. The top and bottom are always the “highlight” areas, but the middle tier is quite fluid, and there are discussions and arguments to be had about the respect given to various teams.

Let’s unveil the list, beginning with the league’s bottom division and moving upward from that point.
