The NFC East hogs primetime appearances. The North has the tradition. The West claims East Coast bias. The South is often overlooked.
But it’s getting harder to ignore what’s brewing in Carolina’s division.
After the Panthers led the league in scoring in 2015, the Falcons finished first in points last year. The Saints have fielded one of the league’s most explosive offenses for more than a decade, and the Buccaneers have spent this offseason adding weapons for rising quarterback Jameis Winston.
With its four teams seemingly locked in an arms race, the NFC South is poised to be the most exciting division in the NFL next season.
