One game apart: Here's a breakdown of the chaotic NFC South heading into the playoffs

The NFC South will likely end up being the last division left up for grabs this season, and it probably won't send a team to the playoffs with a winning record after going 1-3 in Week 15.

The New Orleans Saints were the only team from the division to win Sunday (beating the Atlanta Falcons, 21-18), leaving a muddled NFC South picture that might not become clear until at least Week 17.

This is a race that’ll come down to the wire for all the wrong reasons, with the Carolina Panthers' 24-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15 being a prime example of a division that can't get out of its own way.
