The NFC has seen a huge leap in competition over the last season, with a lot of the conference seemingly featuring Super Bowl favorites headed into this year's championship game.
The NFC North alone features two contenders in the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, while other teams like the Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, and Washington Commanders are threatening to be in that same tier this season. The Packers, since trading for Micah Parsons right before Week 1 of the 2025 season, seemed to be atop that list to come out of the NFC.
