NFL Power Rankings: Division Rankings After Week 14
By Brad Rowland
We rank each of the NFL divisions from worst to the best.
Because the NFL is in the “stretch run” of the 2014 season, there is an understandable level of focus on the playoff chase, leaving much of the league hanging out to dry with regard to attention and coverage. Still, this is a group comprised of only 32 franchises, and because that is a much more manageable figure than, for example, college football provides, we can still provide a bit of context across the league as a whole. In this space, we will evaluate the league’s eight divisions, while ranking them from worst to best in terms of overall performance.
Last week’s rankings should shed some light on where we were in the recent past, but as with anything in the NFL, things are quite fluid at times. 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.
