After reading the article earlier this week on BTSC, I informed Jeff Hartman I had hypothesized a divisional realignment back in 2016. It might have been boring because it didn’t switch each division, but it was an alignment which made sense. After looking over my old alignment, I decided to take it to the next level and also do an additional realignment across the conferences.
2019 will be the 18th season of the current division format that started in 2002 when the Houston Texans joined the NFL. At the time, the goal was to align teams geographically while still keeping some classic rivalries.
