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

Suddenly, we are within visual range of the end of the 2014 NFL season. There are still full weeks to go in the campaign, but as the playoff scenarios begin to illuminate themselves, focusing on the entire league becomes a task for the diehards only. In this space, we will evaluate the league’s eight divisions, while ranking them from worst to best in terms of overall performance, and it is safe to assume that only the “true” fans are still tuned in to the proceedings.

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.
