With wins, or other teams losing, the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs can all clinch their division races this week.
How Did They Get Here?
The Chiefs are in very familiar territory.
If they do win on Sunday, they will clinch their seventh straight division title.
This has to primarily do with the brilliance of Andy Reid, and the spectacular play of Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs have owned this division since Mahomes entered the league, and this season has been more of the same.
Winners of the division just twice in the last ten years, the Vikings are closing in on an elusive win.
The NFC North has been historically dominated by the Green Bay Packers but has assuredly belonged to the Vikings this season.
Coach Kevin O’Connell has been instrumental in the team’s success this season, and players such as Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, and Harrison Smith are just a few key contributors to this talented roster.
They currently sit at 10-2 and are still chasing the Eagles for the top spot in the NFC.
The Eagles have won the NFC East three times in the past ten years.
Among all the divisions in the NFL, the NFC East has the most parity, as each team has won the division at least once in the past ten years.
This talented Eagles roster has the tools to make a big playoff push this season and can clinch their ticket to the dance with a win on Sunday.
