NFC

The NFC playoff race is tight heading into the final weeks of the season. The Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, and Dallas Cowboys are all fighting for the two wild card spots. The final weeks of the season will be critical for these teams.

Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals clinched their first playoff berth since 2015 with a Week 17 victory over the Rams. They’ll be the NFC’s first wild-card team in 2021.

The Cardinals entered Week 17 with a chance to earn the NFC West title, but they ultimately came up short against the Rams. They’ll still make the playoffs as a wild-card team, however, and will be one of the most dangerous teams in the NFC.

The Cardinals have one of the best offenses in the NFL, led by quarterback Kyler Murray. Murray has been one of the most electric players in the league this season, and he has a talented group of weapons around him. Wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald are both future Hall of Famers, and running back Kenyan Drake has been a breakout star this season.

The Cardinals’ defense has also been quite good this season, ranking ninth in DVOA. Defensive end Chandler Jones is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, and linebacker Markus Golden has also been a force off the edge. The Cardinals secondary has been susceptible to big plays at times this season, but it’s still a unit that can make life difficult for opposing quarterbacks.

The Cardinals will have their work cut out for them in the playoffs, but they have all the makings of a team that could make a deep run.

Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. The Bears have won nine NFL Championships, including one Super Bowl, and hold the NFL record for the most enshrinements in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers. The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise.

Dallas Cowboys

The NFC wild card race is going to come down to the final week of the season, with a handful of teams still in contention.
