Why the NFC West is the best division in the NFL

Most wins> The NFC West is the only division in football without a losing team. The Rams at 3-3 are in last place. The division's overall winning percentage of .625 tops the league.

Best defense> The NFC West has 4 of the top 5 teams in terms of points allowed.

Best record outside the division> At 12-6 the NFC West's winning percentage against non divisional opponents again tops the NFL.

Victims of the NFC West include: Packers (twice), Lions (twice), Pats, Eagles, Cowboys, and Redskins.

It's a long way from 2010...

Edit: Upon further review, I see the AFC East also doesn't have a losing team. Of course, they don't have any winning teams either..all four are 3-3. And while the NFC West has an aggregate point differential of + 87, the AFC East is at -9..
