Unpredictable NFL? It sure seems that way!

In the 10 seasons since realignment in 2002, 27 different teams have won division titles.

"Our game is so unpredictable, and that's what fans love," says NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL. "The competitiveness is what the fans want."

New Leadership Atop Divisions

In 2011, there were seven new division winners -- Baltimore, Denver, Green Bay, Houston, New Orleans, the New York Giants, and San Francisco -- the most such clubs since realignment in 2002.

"Our goal is to win the Super Bowl championship, and the best way to get there is by winning the division," said New York Giants head coach TOM COUGHLIN after his team clinched the NFC East title last year en route to a Super Bowl XLVI victory.
