The AFC East is a picture of dysfunction as almost every team in the division continues to have to get through random issues that seem to always come up but one team stays away from those issues and that team keeps winning.

For the better part of the last decade the NFL has seen the rule of two quarterbacks as the best players in the league.

The biggest show in North American sports is back again as the Super Bowl travels to one of its favourite location in Arizona. Glendale will host the 49th Super Bowl a year after the NFL experimented with an outdoor Super Bowl. Last year the Super Bowl travelled north to New Jersey where the open air of MetLife Stadium caused plenty of concern. The Northeast in February can be brutal but luckily for the league it ended up one of the more mild days of that winter.

The AFC east is a division that has regularly had dominant teams in the mix but lately they seem to be a division that just pumps out mediocre teams. The king of those mediocre teams is the New England Patriots who are not necessarily mediocre. They are one of the best teams in the league year after year but have done so well and been so consistent that it really doesn’t shock anyone. Now they just continue to win and create less drama than any other division. There are rarely tight battles in the division anymore and which makes the drama that much less in this division.

The playoff race is having its affect as week 14 in the NFL was a wild one with teams fighting and giving everything they had to win the game. It was a week where teams would make a statement as to whether they were ready for the playoffs or not. Teams would brave the weather conditions to take home wins and some would even try to overcome controversy to get what they needed to stay alive in the playoff hunt. As the games wind down with only three weeks of the season left every game is becoming more important.

Through all of the research and all of the attempts to duplicate the model of the NFL one thing seems to be the aspect that nobody can copy.

The NFL is seeing a bunch of surprises already this year as the league has seen a number of teams come out to a great start and others not so much. There are the teams that have won two in a row that nobody expected to win two in a row. There are teams that have started 0-2 that most expected to have at least one win so far. There have been the players who have already impressed and the players who have most people questioning their capabilities.

The AFC East has had one ruling body in the past decade as the New England Patriots have been the dominant team in the East. The division is going through changes this year though as the team that was always perfect has joined the dysfunction of the AFC East. The East is a strange place in the AFC as it is full of teams that can seem to figure it out while the controversy continues to surround the entire division.
