The NFL has finally reached its midway point of the year and the league still has trouble determining in each conference. There's been chaos throughout the league that's playing a role in division leaders not only separating themselves from the pack, but determining the strength of each of the eight divisions in the league.The last time in Week 9 or later that four teams with .500-or-below records each defeated division leaders on the same day was Dec. 18, 2011 -- which happened when the , , , and all beat first-place teams Sunday. Five NFL divisions are led by a team that did not win its division last year. Three divisions have a team Erik Gonzalez Jersey in first place or tied for first that mi sed the playoffs in 2020. 11 teams are over .500 in the AFC alone!This chaos has shuffled the divisional power rankings heading into Week 10, as supremacy at the top has been challenged. The worst division in football also has a new owner.Buckle up. This week's divisional power rankings underwent a ma sive shift.Last week's ranking: 6 being unable to play hurt any chances of this division salvaging the inevitable fate of being the "worst division in football" after this week. The and each had their opportunities as well, but Minnesota blew a 14-point second half lead to the and Chicago couldn't salvage ' heroics late in a lo s to the . This division going winle s this week didn't help -- although it's on brand since the NFC North boasts the only winle s team in the NFL ( were off). Rodgers not playing against Kansas City didn't lose too many points, even though the game was winnable for Green Bay.The NFC North is 9-17 (.346 win percentage) in out-of-division games and 13-21 overall (.382). Only Green Bay is over. 500. The division isn't good.Last week's ranking: 7How did the NFC East not fall to last place after the and lost? Thank the New York Giants for upsetting the first-place and salvaging a 1-2 week for the division against the AFC West. Dallas getting blown out by Denver is a poor look for a division that has just one good team, wondering how good the NFC East leaders really are. Washington was off this week, but the NFC East isn't as poor as the NFC North. The 10-15 record (.400) in interdivisional games helps, along with the overall record of 14-20 (.412). Having three teams with three-or-fewer wins puts the NFC East near the bottom, even if they aren't the worst division in football --yet.Last week's ranking: 5An interesting week for the AFC East, as the continue to have the look of a playoff team. New England is just a game back of the in the lo s column (0.5 game overall) after beating the and the Bills inexplicably falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Buffalo losing to Jacksonville is a very bad look for the division, even if the AFC East did go 2-2 on the week.The were blown out by the , but they were down to their third-string quarterback in a game they weren't supposed to win anyway. Give credit to the for beating the , even if the win wasn't impre sive. Playing Baltimore on a short week doesn't help either. The AFC Kenny Lofton Jersey East is 9-15 (.375) in out-of-division games and 14-20 overall (.412). Buffalo and New England are both over. 500, which is why the AFC East is ranked above the NFC East. New England can help this division with a win over the this week.Last week's ranking: 8What a week for the AFC South, which jumped three spots thanks to the flexing their muscle in blowing out the -- on the road in primetime -- and the Jacksonville Jaguars earning a huge upset over the Buffalo Bills. Jacksonville is actually 2-1 in its last three games!The Indianapolis Colts don't have a shot at catching Tenne see for the division at the moment, yet have won three of their last four to get to 4-5 and in the hunt for a playoff spot in the AFC. The schedule isn't easy, but Indianapolis is seeming to find its stride. The Houston Texans fell to Miami in a winnable game, but it's hard to expect the Texans to win any game on their schedule. A 3-1 week for this division is very impre sive. The AFC South is still just 9-16 (.360) in interdivisional games and 14-21 overall (.400), yet they had just a .286 win percentage in out-of-division games last week. Perhaps this division isn't as bad as it portrayed most of the first half of the year.Last week's ranking: 3There wasn't much of an opportunity for the NFC South to move up its standing with the being idle and the and playing each other. The Carolina Panthers had an opportunity to hold serve against the New England Patriots, but were blown out at home and have serious quarterback i sues involving .Atlanta upsetting New Orleans at home wasn't good for the Saints' chances to compete with Tampa Carlos Santana Jersey Bay for the division, yet the NFC South currently has three teams in the NFC playoff field heading into Week 10. The division is still strong, even if it isn't as powerful as the other three ahead of them. The NFC South is 14-9 (.609) in out-of-division games and 19-14 overall (.573). New Orleans and Atlanta battle first-place teams in Tenne see and Dallas, respectively.Last week's ranking: 4Quite the week for the AFC West, starting with the Denver Broncos upsetting a first-place team in the Cowboys -- which was one of the biggest upsets of Week 9. The Kansas City Chiefs also beat another first-place team in the , albeit without Aaron Rodgers.The survived an upset bid by the Eagles, yet earned a crucial last-second win on the road. The Las Vegas Raiders should have made this a 4-0 week for the division, but couldn't beat the lowly Giants in playing their worst game of the year. A 3-1 week in interdivisional games showcases how good this division can be. The AFC West doesn't have a single team under .500, as every team is over .500 in the division. All four teams are separated by half a game, showcasing the depth of the division. The AFC West is 17-11 in interdivisional games (.607) and 20-14 overall (.588). They're in contention for the top division in football.Last week's ranking: 1Finally falling from the No. 1 spot, the NFC West has to find a way to reclaim the throne after a subpar Week 9. The Los Angeles Rams getting blown out by the Titans didn't help the division in a battle of first-place teams in primetime. Los Angeles is still a very Carlos Carrasco Jersey good team, yet hasn't played well in the national television games against teams at their talent level.The bottom of the NFC West isn't good as the lost to the , who were without and lost early in the game. Arizona is really good and has the best record in football at 8-1, but the ineptitude of the 49ers can't keep this division at No. 1 when they lost five of six since a 2-0 start. The were idle this week, but can help this division reclaim the top spot if they can upset the Packers. The NFC West is still good, sporting an out-of-division record of 16-8 (.667) and an overall record of 21-13 (.618). The 49ers and Seahawks being under .500 hurts the strength of this division.Last week's ranking: 2Welcome to the No. 1 spot, AFC North! The Baltimore Ravens came back from a double-digit Larry Doby Jersey deficit against the Vikings and kept the AFC North lead in a stacked division, easily the most impre sive win of the weekend amongst the three victors. The Pittsburgh Steelers survived the Chicago Bears upset bid to stay above .500 while the Cleveland Browns blew out the without Odell Beckham Jr.This division is the strongest in the NFL -- top to bottom. Baltimore is a Super Bowl contender while Cleveland and Pittsburgh are making their playoff cases in the conference. Even after losing two in a row, Cincinnati is still one of the most improved teams in football. The AFC North doesn't have a team under. 500 as every team is over the .500 mark. The division has two teams in the playoffs entering Week 10 -- but four of the 11 over .500 teams in the conference. The AFC North is 15-9 in interdivisional games (.625) and 21-13 overall (.618). This division deserves to be No. 1, especially since each team in the AFC North can win every week.
