A look through the NFC South as the NFL goes into its final stretch of games towards the postseason.
Entering the 2024-25 NFL season, most national pundits ranked the NFC South as the NFL's weakest division. Strong 2-0 starts by the New Orleansand Tampa Bay Buccaneers had some rethinking those protections, but each squad had struggles over the next several weeks as the Atlanta Falcons took control of the standings.
At the conclusion of this week's slate of games, each NFC South team will have six remaining contests. Here is how the division standings currently look, with each squad's division and conference record.New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushes against the Atlanta Falcons / Stephen Lew-Imagn ImagesDespite their record and being incredibly overhyped by the national media coming into the season, the Falcons have a stranglehold on the division.
That Week 6 win was the last for Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers come out of their bye having lost four straight games, albeit by a combined 24 points. Wideout Mike Evans and a few of their starting defensive backs return to action as the Buccaneers look like they're getting healthy at the right time. Injuries have stripped the Saints down to practice squad players and free-agent signings off the street for portions of the year. New Orleans is starting to get healthier, but will still be without key pieces Rashid Shaheed, Paulson Adebo, and likely Chris Olave for the remainder of this year.
