The 2019 NFL season has seen its fair share of compelling races. The NFC West went back to its mid-decade roots with the Seahawks and 49ers going toe-to-toe for the right to unseat the reigning NFC champion Rams. The AFC South started as a battle between a surprising Colts team and the defending champion Texans, but a career resurgence from Ryan Tannehill has thrown the Titans’ hat into the ring. An early-season loss in Lambeau and the division tiebreaker is likely going to keep the Vikings from their second division title in three years, putting Matt LaFleur in a position to be a division-champion coach in his first season at the helm.
