  The Monday night game between San Francisco (3-7) and Arizona (3-7) is actually an important game. The winning team will only be one back in that awful division.

  I can't believe 5-6 is good enough to be leading a division.

  I thought I heard an announcer say that 8-8 is the worst record ever to win a division...i think the browns did that in 1985

  They were ^^
  
  It's happened a few times, but never a 7-9 division winner.

  The NFC West is such a joke. And next week is huge.
  
  Jets/Pats and Steelers/Ravens both have not just division, but potentially home field implications. Then you have Jacksonville @ Tennessee in a big AFC South game with Indy having lost 3 of 4 to open things up.
