NFL Power Rankings: What Is the League's Best Division?

Last week, the AFC East was clearly the NFL's best division. Is that still the case after Week 3?

The AFC East saw two teams lose, the Patriots to the Bills and the Jets to the Raiders. 

Ryan Fitzpatrick's Bills came back after trailing 21-0 in the second quarter and outscored New England 34-10 the rest of the way. 

The most stunning part of the game was Buffalo's secondary intercepting Tom Brady four times. Buffalo, following their epic win, looks to be for real, and right now, is the team to beat in that division. 

The Jets faced a very physical Oakland team in the Black Holes that features budding superstar Darren McFadden. Traveling across the country to face a team like the Raiders wasn't an easy task, and the Jets couldn't make enough plays in the second half. 

The Patriots offense will shatter records this season, but their defense is really hurting them.

If Brady isn't perfect, they'll have a hard time winning games against the league's upper echelon.

The Dolphins round out the division at a disappointing 0-3. They don't have a rushing touchdown from their running backs this season. 

The NFC North has two unbeaten teams, the Packers and Lions, but the Vikings sit at 0-3 after blowing another half-time lead. 

Even the Bears at 1-2 are a solid club. They just need to protect Jay Cutler, although he needs to get rid of the ball more quickly. 

Right now, the NFC South and the AFC North are very similar. The Buccaneers and Saints look to be legitimate contenders, but the Falcons aren't living up to preseason expectations. 

The Browns are quietly 2-1, the Ravens have two blowout victories and the Steelers, though playing sloppy, are also 2-1. 

Right now, it just too close to call.

I'll crown the AFC East and the NFC North as the two best divisions in football.

Both divisions have quarterbacks playing at high levels and defenses that make enough plays to get the job done. 

It will be fun to monitor this throughout the season, especially with the parity in the NFL today.
