I'm guessing it's the "W-L" situation just like they do for the end of the regular season final record before the post season.
The NFL team that holds the record for the most division titles in a row is the Los Angeles Rams, with seven consecutive division titles from 1973 to 1979.
The record for the most consecutive NFL division titles won by a team is seven, achieved by the Los Angeles Rams from 1973 to 1979.
Yes. The 2010 Seattle Seahawks became the first team in NFL history to win a division title with a 7-9 record.
A team can secure a division title in the NFL by finishing the regular season with the best record in their division. This is typically achieved by winning more games than the other teams in the division.
As of now, the AFC East teams have a combined division record of 10 wins and 6 losses this season.
The NFL uses a series of tiebreaking criteria to determine division standings when teams have the same record. These criteria include head-to-head record, division record, conference record, common games record, strength of victory, and strength of schedule. If teams are still tied after these criteria are applied, a coin toss may be used as a last resort.
NFC South
The last team to win a division tile without posting a winning record was the 2008 San Diego Chargers, who won the weak AFC West Division Title, with a record of 8-8. Prior to the 2008 season, the last team to win a division without a winning record was the 1985 Cleveland Browns, who won the AFC Central Division with a record of 8-8 as well.
Since the AFL-NFL merger, the worst division winning record was 7-9 by the 2010 Seattle Seahawks.
It depends upon the league/sport. In the NFL, for example, the team with the best overall record wins their division. In the event of a tie, the division record acts as the tiebreaker. I believe the best conference record wins the conference in NCAA Football, regardless of overall record. Then there are the league like the NHL, where a team earns 2 points for a win, 1 for a tie or post regulation loss--with the team accumulating the most points winning their division/conference.
The St. Louis Rams won the NFC West in 2003 with a record of 12-4.
The Detroit Lions had the worst record in the NFL.
