It’s the slowest time of the soccer calendar now that the 2025 NFL Draft is over and there are months to go earlier than coaching camp.
What higher time to debate which divisions are the most effective within the league?
Analyst Warren Sharp not too long ago shared a stat that exhibits how the AFC North has been by far the most effective division within the NFL over the previous 5 years, with 128 mixed wins since 2020.

The AFC West ranks second with 119 wins in that span, whereas the AFC South is firmly in final place with 78 wins.
All 4 AFC North groups have made a number of playoff appearances, whereas each different division has no less than one crew lagging behind.
Solely twice over the previous 5 years has an AFC North crew received fewer than seven video games, as final 12 months’s Cleveland Browns (3-14) and the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020 (4-11-1) failed to achieve that milestone.
The Bengals received 9 video games in 2023 and completed final within the division, which is a testomony to how deep it’s.
Whereas the Browns look to be headed towards one other tough season, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Bengals should not have any downside competing for playoff berths once more.
A stat like this exhibits how vast the hole is between the AFC North and different divisions.
