NFL Power Rankings: All Eight Teams in AFC and NFC North Hold Winning Records

For the first time in NFL history, all eight teams across the AFC North and NFC North divisions hold winning records heading into Week 7 of the season. This unusual parity has created a highly competitive landscape, with each division featuring four teams with more wins than losses.

The AFC North has a history of strength, with all four of its teams finishing above .500 in the 2023 season. Similarly, the NFC North achieved this feat in 2025. However, the simultaneous occurrence of both divisions having all winning teams is unprecedented since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, which has only seen two instances of a full division finishing with winning records.

NFC North Standings

Similar to the AFC North, the NFC North is experiencing a highly competitive period. The exact order of teams within this division is also not specified, but the collective success of its members is notable.
