Jason Kelce gave a blunt assessment on Wednesday about the state of defense in the NFC East.

The computer clearly loves the NFC West with three teams projected to make the playoffs. Despite injuries, the 49ers (6-3) are expected to do just enough to earn the final wild-card spot, with a 76.1% chance to make the playoffs -- well ahead of the Bears (41.5%), who are projected as the first team out.

So far, every team in the NFC East except the Eagles has played three division games. Here's how they stack up.

The move comes three months after Dallas traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark just before the 2025 season kicked off. Dallas is currently 11th in the NFC with a 5% chance of making the playoffs.

The NFL season has reached its halfway point, and it's time to hand out midterm grades. Which teams earned top marks, and who still has work to do?

Once an inferior division, the NFC West is now must-watch TV, with the Rams, Seahawks and 49ers all potential Super Bowl contenders.
