The NFC Hierarchy Has Been Shuffled Again This Week
The NFL's top teams continue to jockey for position, and this week brought no surprises. The Rams, Seahawks, Eagles, and Lions remain at the top of the pack, with the Falcons stuck in neutral.
The Atlanta Falcons, who have struggled mightily all season, are now 3-6 and heading toward an eighth consecutive losing season. Their front office made a questionable trade that has left them in shambles, trading away valuable draft picks for the 26th overall pick, which they used to select James Pearce.
Meanwhile, the NFC's top teams continue to dominate. The Cowboys, who traded for DT Quinnen Williams and EDGE Micah Parsons, are now tied with the Seahawks and Rams for second place. However, their trade was not without issue, as it has left them with a net loss in draft pick value.
The 49ers, who refused to make any deals at the trade deadline despite pressure from their media and fans, remain solidly in contention. They have no chance this season with all their injuries, but they're taking it one game at a time.
The Bears, who have given up big numbers to the Bengals and Giants in consecutive weeks, are still finding ways to win. However, their next two opponents will provide a significant test.
In other news, the Packers, who punted on several occasions last week, are moving down the rankings after a lackluster performance. The Buccaneers' defense is looking slow, but they're still putting up points.
Finally, the Eagles remain at the top of the pack, but their lead over the Seahawks and Rams is slimming by the day. Their next game against the Seahawks will be a huge test.
The NFC hierarchy remains fluid, with teams jockeying for position every week. The Falcons' struggles are a reminder that even the best teams can have off weeks, but the top contenders are still well ahead of everyone else.
