A week ago, the NFC South seemed like it might be settling out. The Saints had lost, dropping them to the bottom of the division, and the Buccaneers had won and were back to .500. Given that every other team in the division was at least three games under .500, it seemed as though the drama was largely over.
Of course, with this putrid division in 2022, you can’t really put much stock in the standings at any given point. After Week 14, the only team that seems to be completely dead is in New Orleans, who would likely have to win every game the rest of the way and get real help to win the NFC South.
