The competition for division titles has reached historic intensity in the National Football League. For the first time ever, five of the league’s eight divisions have their top teams separated by one game or less as the season enters its critical final month.
This unprecedented parity means the playoff picture remains highly uncertain. Every game in the coming weeks will have major consequences for which teams qualify for the postseason and which teams secure home-field advantage.
Charlotte Carroll, a staff writer for The Athletic, analyzed these tight races. She joined CBS News to discuss the key matchups and implications from Week 14 of the NFL season.
The close standings ensure that fan interest will stay high across the league. Several division championships will likely be decided only in the final week of the regular season.
