NFC South was the best division in 2017, will the consistency continue?

The NFC South surprised the entire NFL in 2017 as they had three teams appear in the playoffs — the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.

This comes one season after the Falcons won the division at 11-5 and their divisional rivals all finished under .500 with the exception of the Buccaneers at 9-7. Atlanta was also the only team from the NFC playoffs in 2016 to make consecutive playoff appearances.

What the NFC South did in 2017 is impressive but critics want to know if they’ll be able to duplicate their success and bring the same consistency and talent in 2018.
