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

Can anyone stop Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers?

Seriously, the guy is playing out of his mind, and he was already considered a top five quarterback when the year began. 

What about the second-half Detroit Lions?

Ridiculous. 

After four weeks, there's been some jockeying for the title of "NFL's Best Division."

Let's take a look. 

The AFC East, the group of four teams I picked previously has come back to earth a bit. 

Mark Sanchez was horrendous against the Ravens last night, and the Bills were the victims of a ferocious comeback at the hands of the Bengals. 

Tom Brady rebounded in Oakland, but the Dolphins lost—again. 

The AFC North is headlined by the terrorizing Ravens, have a team I can't quite figure out in the Steelers and two middle of the pack teams in the Browns and Bengals. 

Moving on. 

The AFC West is, well, the AFC West. 

Thought we were onto something with the Raiders. 

Then Jason Campbell threw this pass. 

In the NFC East, the Giants are 3-1 and have been extremely resilient the last two weeks. The Cowboys collapsed and couldn't hold a lead, while the Dream Team is becoming a nightmare. 

Oh yea, the Redskins narrowly defeated the Rams. 

Two teams at 3-1, but not the best division. 

Forget the NFC West, although the 49ers are surprising people.

The verdict is still out on the NFC South, who could have two 3-1 teams after tonight. 

Cam Newton and the Panthers are playing every team tough but can't finish late. What's up with the Falcons?

Who does that leave?

The mighty NFC North. 

Green Bay 4-0, Detroit 4-0 both with superb quarterbacks, solid receiving corps and tenacious defenses. 

Yes, the Vikings are 0-4, but I think eventually they turn it around. 

Chicago is hot and cold at 2-2, and we'll see them rely on the run more in the future.

A very good thing for Bears fans.
