There’s no question the NFC got weaker this year, losing stars such as Russell Wilson, Davante Adams and Matt Ryan to the AFC. The Los Angeles Rams lost key players of their own, including Andrew Whitworth and Von Miller, but they still look like the favorites to win the NFC and represent the conference in the Super Bowl again.
In a poll of executives around the league, they seem to agree. The Athletic asked five NFL executives to rank the teams in the NFC. The Rams received four first-place votes, with only one executive picking them as the second-best team in the conference.
