It’s nearly become a tradition in today’s National Football League, where up can be down and down can certainly be up.

Just about every season, we see a last-place club turn into a first-place club in the blink of an eye aka one season. Let’s take a look at some recent examples.

In 2012, the Washington Redskins won the NFC East for the first time since 1999. This after the team had finished in the division basement each of the previous four seasons.

Last season, the Philadelphia Eagles rebounded from a 4-12 showing and won the NFC East in 2013 with a 10-6 record.

Once again, we are taking a look at how the eight teams that finished last a year ago and ranking them from worst to best. Last week, four of the eight clubs came away with victories and two of those teams are among the league’s seven 2-0 squads in 2014.
