The NFL's NFC hierarchy continues to take shape as Week 11 comes to a close, and it's time to say goodbye to yet another team. The Atlanta Falcons, who have been stuck in purgatory for years, are now officially dead.
Despite playing in one of the most competitive divisions in the league, the Falcons haven't had a winning season since 2017. Their latest trade at the draft deadline is widely regarded as one of the most egregious blunders in recent memory, with the team surrendering multiple future picks to snag just one middling prospect.
Meanwhile, teams like the Bears and Packers are giving their fans reason to believe that they can make a deep playoff run this year. However, it's hard to take them seriously given their tough upcoming schedule.
The Seahawks are another team on the cusp of greatness, but their biggest test comes next week when they face off against division rivals the Rams.
At the top of the NFC hierarchy is the Rams, who have suddenly and unexpectedly found themselves in contention for a championship. Matthew Stafford's incredible form has been the driving force behind this resurgence, with the quarterback putting up eye-catching numbers every week. The team's defense has also shown signs of life, making them a formidable opponent for anyone looking to make a deep playoff run.
In the hierarchy table, the Rams are currently listed as number one, followed closely by the Seahawks and Eagles. However, with so much unpredictability in the league right now, it's impossible to say who will ultimately come out on top.
But one thing is certain - only 11 teams made the cut this week.

. I mean, they're stuck in purgatory for years and then you expect them to turn it around like that? 
It's just not believable. And that trade they did at the draft deadline was straight trash... giving up multiple future picks for one middling prospect? 
That's like trading your whole future for a participation trophy.
. But with their tough schedule coming up, it's hard to see how far they can go. And don't even get me started on the Seahawks... they're all over the place right now 
. But hey, at least Matthew Stafford is playing some decent QB ball and their defense is looking fierce 
.
I'm not surprised the Falcons are done for another season... their moves just don't seem to be adding up 
. The Rams are looking good tho, I guess they got a boost from Stafford's performance 
. But can they keep it up? The Seahawks and Eagles are also giving me hope... that division is crazy competitive 
.
. And what's with the Bears and Packers thinking they can make a deep run? Their schedules look brutal 
.
. It's like they're stuck in neutral mode forever. And that trade? What a bust . Teams like Bears and Packers are giving me hope tho, but they gotta navigate some tough games first. The Rams are on fire though, can't deny it 
, I feel bad for you guys, been down this road before
. Matthew Stafford is like a superpowered QB or something 
. And don't even get me started on the trade deadline... that was straight fire 
sorry falcons fans, they just couldn't get it together no matter what 
but the bears and packers are looking 
especially with their tough schedule, i gotta respect that 
and stafford is on 
the rams are a legit threat 
meanwhile, seahawks vs rams next week is gonna be EPIC 
... I feel bad for their fans, stuck watching that team struggle year after year 
. Those teams have some tough games ahead of them and if they can't keep up the pace, they'll be out of contention in no time 
i love how matthew stafford is killing it out there, dude's got skills 
and that defense is looking super solid too 
.
, they're on the cusp of greatness! But man, that Rams game next week is gonna be 
.
. They've been limping along for years and now they're officially done 
. Their draft trade was a total disaster... like, who gives up multiple picks for one mediocre player? 
. And don't even get me started on that trade... ugh! What a waste 
.
. But we'll have to wait and see... only 11 teams made it this week 
.
.
matthew stafford is a total rockstar! 
can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds
