The NFC South is on a roll.
With the Falcons' victory over the Seahawks on Monday Night Football, both NFC wild card spots would go to teams in the division if the season ended today – the Panthers (7-3) and the Falcons (6-4). The Saints (8-2) remained on top with a stirring comeback.
The division leads football with 25 victories, powered by a 9-0 record in non-division matchups since Week 8. The last time an NFC division produced three playoff teams was the NFC East in 2007, when the third team in the pecking order – the Giants – wrecked the Patriots' perfect season in Super Bowl XLII.
