1. Detroit - 6-1
2. Washington - 6-2
3. Atlanta - 5-3
4. Arizona - 4-4 (Holds divisional record tiebreaker over SF and SEA)
5. Green Bay - 6-2
6. Minnesota - 5-2
7. Philadelphia - 5-2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Chicago - 4-3
9. Tampa Bay - 4-4 (Holds conference record tiebreaker over SF)
10. San Francisco - 4-4 (Holds head to head tiebreaker over SEA)
11. Seattle - 4-4
12. LA Rams - 3-4 (Holds conference record tiebreaker over DAL)
13. Dallas - 3-4
14. New Orleans - 2-6 (Holds conference record tiebreaker over NYG)
15. NY Giants - 2-6
16. Carolina - 1-7
