Another week, another slate of games that saw the NFC South establish itself as perhaps the most competitive division in football. The standings atop the South have continued to tighten, with New Orleans and Carolina tied at 8-3 and the Falcons just behind them at 7-4. This also marks two straight weeks now that the NFC South would have three teams in the playoffs. Pretty impressive.
