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

The NFL is coming off of a “showcase” weekend, as the league takes full control of the sporting landscape over the Thanksgiving holiday. With that opportunity comes a great deal of scrutiny, however, and certain teams have been “exposed” on the national stage, while others have firmly established themselves as a cut above the rest. That is especially interesting when evaluating the league’s eight divisions on the whole, and that is our task today.

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.

Next: NFC South
