The 2019 NFL regular season comes to a close Sunday night in Seattle, and it has certainly been a wild year. All four AFC division champions from 2018 repeated this season, while at least two (and three if the Philadelphia Eagles win) divisions changed hands in the NFC. The league's likely MVP was the fifth quarterback chosen in last year’s draft, and some of the league’s best defenses to start the season are showing signs of weakness as injuries and regression begin to factor in. The two teams battling for the last AFC playoff spot have both benched quarterbacks throughout the season (in the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers, multiple times).
